Rationale and Vision

Our academy is committed to ensuring all of our students have access to highly impartial careers advice and to a range of employers who can support them in considering their future. To help us do this we align our CEIAG Plan to the Gatsby Benchmarks which have been explicitly referenced throughout the DfE’s Careers Strategy (December 2017) the Statutory Guidance for careers (January 2018) and aligns to the delivery of independent careers guidance to year 8-13 pupils in accordance with section 42A of the Education Act 1997.

The 8 Gatsby benchmarks are outlined below:

A stable careers programme
Learning from career and labour market information
Addressing the needs of each student
Linking the curriculum learning to careers
Encounters with employers and employees
Experience of work places
Encounters with further and higher education
Personal guidance

The vision for the development of CEIAG across our academy is to provide the very best opportunities to enable our students to make informed and incisive decisions throughout, and beyond, their school life. By using the Gatsby benchmarks as a framework of best practice we have a CEIAG programme that meets the needs of our ever-changing cohort of students, providers and labour market landscape. Our plan promotes equality of opportunity, celebrates diversity and challenges stereotypes whilst inspiring, raising aspirations and giving our students an optimistic outlook on life and their place in the world of work. We are always guided by our Co-op values:

Do what matters most

What matters most is ensuring that our students achieve the best possible outcomes.

Be yourself, always

We bring our best self to work, so that we each contribute a bit of our own unique Co-op Academy Trust difference, and respect others for doing the same.

Show you care

We care about our Trust, our colleagues, our members, our students, their parents and communities, now and for the future.

Succeed together

Cooperating is what makes us different; we’re better and stronger when we work together.

Intent

Our CEIAG programme is both bespoke and unique to our academy and is reviewed on an annual basis to meet our students needs based on our monitoring and evaluation processes. We are committed to providing a coherently planned and sequenced programme that reflects our academies context and core values. Our programme is designed to give all learners the knowledge, skills, understanding and cultural capital they need to go on to destinations that meet their aspirations and interests. With this in mind we aim:-

● To provide impartial and independent advice for all pupils (Gatsby Benchmark 1 - 8)

● To prevent pupils leaving and becoming NEET (Gatsby 1 - 8)

● To contribute to strategies for raising achievement, especially by increasing motivation, attitude to learning and attendance (Gatsby 3) ● To support inclusion, challenge stereotyping and promote equality of opportunity (Gatsby Benchmark 3,4) ● To encourage participation in continued learning including higher education, further education and apprenticeships (Gatsby Benchmark 7,8)

● To develop enterprise and employment skills (Gatsby 2,3)

● To reduce drop out from and course switching in education and training (Gatsby 3,5,6,7,8)

● To contribute to the economic prosperity of individuals and communities (Gatsby 2,5,7)

● To meet the needs of all our pupils through appropriate differentiation (Gatsby 3)

● To focus students on their future aspirations and opportunities (Gatsby 3,4,8)

● To involve parents and carers via newsletters, Parents Evenings and Options Evenings (Gatsby 1,2,5,6,7) ● To support the raising of the participation age and assist with positive destinations for all pupils post 16, 17 and 18 (Gatsby 1,4,8) ● To meet the needs of our current cohort of students across each year group (Gatsby 1,3)

● To use current Labour Market Information (LMI) to enable students, staff and parents to engage actively with local and national CEIAG information so that they can increase their knowledge and understanding about the world of work. (Gatsby 1,2,3) ● To use student, parent and staff feedback to reflect on our current provision in order to develop our future CEIAG programme (Gatsby 1,2,3)

● To provide additional support to specific vulnerable groups such as SEND and Pupil Premium (Gatsby 1-8) ● All stakeholders have a clear understanding of CEIAG and rationale and vision (Gatsby 1)

● To monitor and evaluate current provision in order to ensure our programme is quality assured in line with other curriculum areas (Gatsby 1)
● To share best practice with other Co-op academies at network events to ensure reflection and development of our own programme (Gatsby 1)

● To ensure all students actively engage with a CEIAG tracking platform to support them in making informed choices about their Career development plan (Gatsby 1,2,3)

● To achieve / work towards a Quality in Careers award in recognition of all that our academy offers (Gatsby 1)

Implementation

Our programme is delivered via bespoke activities, subject curriculum, coaching plus, and a wide range of extracurricular and enrichment activities.

Throughout KS3, KS4 and KS5 CEIAG is accessed by all at Co-op Academy Priesthorpe. CEIAG is delivered by a wide range of providers such as our internal Careers Advisor, Teaching and Associate staff, FE Colleges, Universities, visiting speakers, employers, employees and training providers. This delivery includes bespoke workshops, assemblies, work visits, work experience, work shadowing, mock interviews , careers fairs, ‘Learning for Life’ days and through subject curriculum. Our students are supported and encouraged to explore all possible pathways they may take in the future, to ensure they have the very best start to their career journey. Our staff receive regular CPD to support them in embedding employability skills into their subject areas. Our parents can access our academy's website which provides clear links to a range of CEIAG related events and information, from Labour Market Information (LMI), UCAS applications to Apprenticeships. Parents are also encouraged to attend academy events such as parents evenings, which provide them with access to CEIAG information.

Impact

Measuring the impact of our CEIAG programme enables us to develop our programme on a termly and annual basis and to know that we are making a positive and empowering difference. We value quantitative and qualitative feedback from all stakeholders and ensure our evaluations lead to changes within our future planning. We undertake internal and external quality assurance to ensure our intent and implementation is in-line with our expectations. We measure impact in the following ways:

● Positive destinations data for all

● Tracking of Compass over time

● Reduced NEET figures over time

● Increase in attendance and reduction in PA over time

● Improvement in behaviour for learning data

● Increase in progress / attainment over time

● Positive feedback and evaluation for all events, both quantitative and qualitative

● Positive progression data including take-up of Apprenticeships, entry into FE with particular reference to key groups ● Development of employability skills after key events

NEET FIGURES (NOT IN EDUCATION, EMPLOYMENT OR TRAINING)

The most recent period that this is available for is 2021/22. This references young people’s sustained activity in the two years after they leave KS4. This involves joining several longitudinal administrative datasets (HE and FE enrolments, apprenticeships, HMRC employment records, DWP claimant info etc.).
