High quality careers education and guidance in school or college is critical to our young people’s futures. It helps to prepare them for the workplace by providing a clear understanding of the world of work ,including the routes to jobs and careers that they might find engaging and rewarding. It also supports our young people to acquire the self-development and career management skills they need to achieve positive employment destinations. This helps them to choose their pathways, improve their life opportunities and contribute to a productive and successful economy.
As the number of apprenticeships rises every year, it becomes increasingly important that all young people have a full understanding of all the options available to them post-16 and post-18 including wider technical education options such as T-Levels and Higher Technical Qualifications.
If you would like more information, please speak to Mr Randall.
The Philip Morant School and College is committed to ensuring there is an opportunity for a range of education and training providers to access students, for the purpose of informing them about approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships.
The Philip Morant School and College is fully aware of its responsibility to set students on the path that will enable them to progress in education and work, and give employers the highly skilled people they need. That means acting impartially, in line with the statutory duty, and not showing bias towards any route, be that academic or technical.
The Philip Morant School and College endeavours to ensure that all students are aware of all routes to higher skills and are able to access information on technical options and apprenticeships.
The school will provide:

The Philip Morant School fully supports the statutory requirement for students to have direct access to other providers of further education training, technical training and apprenticeships. The school will comply with the new legal requirement to put on at least six encounters with providers of approved technical education qualifications or apprenticeships. This will be achieved via a range of activities, such as: assemblies, guest speakers, career workshops and drop down days.
A work experience placement provides a student an invaluable opportunity to gain insight into the world of work. All students in Year 12 spend a week during the summer term at a work placement. The responsibility for organising the placement sits with the student which is, in itself, a valuable learning activity. That said, there is plenty of support on offer from the careers and post-16 teams, who can assist students with finding contacts and making approaches so that the student ultimately has a meaningful experience relevant to their career aspirations. These teams also work with employers/placement providers to help to ensure that students’ experiences are safe, positive and educationally valuable.
