Careers Entitlement

Your entitlement as a student at Neatherd High School is that careers guidance:

is presented in an impartial manner, showing no bias or favouritism towards a particular institution, education or work option
includes information on the range of education or training options, including apprenticeships and technical education routes
is guidance that the person giving it considers will promote the best interests of the pupils to whom it is given
independent careers guidance is available to students from year 8 to year 11
ensure that there is an opportunity for a range of education and training providers to access all pupils in year 8 to year 13 for the purpose of informing them about approved technical education qualifications or apprenticeships
For the employer encounters Benchmark, every school should begin to offer every young person seven encounters with employers – at least one each year from year 7 to year 13 – and meet this in full by the end of 2020. Some of these encounters should be with STEM employers.

Robert Hodges is the named person to the role of Careers Leader to lead the careers programme at Neatherd High School.
