Exploring careers

 Through our Careers Programme that is underpinned by the Gatsby Benchmarks, a framework that defines the best careers provision in schools and colleges, we aim to:  

• To support the development of skills to prepare children for the  transition to life beyond school  
• Support children in making informed decisions which are appropriate for  them 
• Provide children with well-rounded experiences  
• Develop essential skills such as communication, independence and  resilience  
• Inspire and motivate children to develop themselves as individuals and live  as independently as is possible 
• Promote lifelong learning  
• Involve parents or carers where appropriate 

This half term we met Callum, a junior soldier, who came down from Harrogate to speak to us about life in the army and also to give us the experience of a PT session! We enjoyed asking Callum our questions and then going outside to learn how to march. 

Thank you so much for coming Callum. 

This half term one of our learners raised they'd like to be a PE teacher when they are older! We discussed lesson planning,  activities and how to ensure engagement in a lesson. J planned a lovely lesson for the children at our other school site and delivered it like a pro! He'll continue to do this weekly with new ideas. This will feed into a young leader award and hopefully start a pathway for him.
