Please note: the Provider Access Policy is currently being updated to reflect the new statutory guidance. The updated provider access legislation specifies schools must provide at least six encounters for all their students during school years 8 - 13. Two encounters for pupils during the ‘first key phase’ (year 8 or 9) that are mandatory for all pupils to attend, and two encounters for pupils during the ‘second key phase’ (year 10 or 11) that are mandatory for all pupils to attend. Providers must include the following in their encounter:

• Information about the provider and the approved technical education qualifications or apprenticeships that the provider offers.

• Information about the careers to which those technical education qualifications or apprenticeships might lead

• A description of what learning or training with the provider is like.

• Responses to questions from the pupils about the provider or approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships.

If you are an employer and would be interested in working with the school to support our careers programme:

• Employability Sessions 
• Meet the Employer Workshop
• Work Experience
• Assemblies
• Work Place Visits
• Employer talks
• Mentoring
