Welcome to Careers at CCA

We hope you find the following information helpful. If there is any information that you require, that can’t be found in this section of the website, please contact the Careers Leader, who will be happy to help.

 

The Curriculum

At CCA we have a balanced and varied curriculum that aims to prepare our pupils for a constantly evolving world. Through a combination of supportive teaching and independent learning, pupils are given the opportunity to develop skills for lifelong learning: self-motivation, creativity and the ability to work as part of a team. We set aspirational targets and monitor pupils’ progress to ensure that they flourish.

Careers education is embedded throughout the curriculum and is enhanced by our PSCHEE, Careers and pastoral programmes. This ensures pupils have the cultural capacity to continue their learning and career planning when they move onto the next phase of their education.

Pupils in key stage 3 receive a discrete careers lesson once a fortnight. In addition, there are 4 drop down days timetabled throughout the year in order to enhance provision of Careers, Enterprise, Work skills / Life Skills and Well-being (both physical and mental). This enables pupils to benefit from outdoor activities, citizenship days, enterprise days and charity work. The support of a growing network of partners at a local, regional, national and international level allows this programme to be offered to all pupils

There is an extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities available for all our pupils throughout the school, be it during the school day, in twilight sessions, evenings, weekends and during holiday periods.

The school’s library includes a Careers Library, where pupils can access information about local FE and HE provision, Apprenticeships and Careers. Pupils also have access to the internet and the Start Programme (A comprehensive online careers package).

 

The 8 Gatsby benchmarks help schools deliver high quality careers and enterprise education.

  1. A stable careers programme
  2. Learning from career and labour market information
  3. Addressing the needs of each pupil
  4. Linking curriculum learning to careers
  5. Encounters with employers and employees
  6. Experiences of workplaces
  7. Encounters with further and higher education
  8. Personal guidance

Labour Market Information (LMI)

Labour market information tell you:

  • What jobs and skills employers are looking for
  • Which industries have vacancies and where they are located
  • What education and training you need for specific jobs
  • Which job areas are growing in the future, which are in decline and other statistics

If you are looking for resources to support your child, we would highly recommend the following website:
