At Malet Lambert School, A specialist Language College we aim to help all students fulfil their potential and experience success through an educational environment, which responds to individual need and stimulates and challenges each and every student. The processes of informing, advising and guiding students are accorded a high priority within our school, and are seen as crucial in preparing students to make decisions regarding the opportunities and challenges of adult and working life.
Information
Information is data on opportunities conveyed through different media, both mediated and unmediated including face-to-face contact - individual, in groups or classes - written or printed materials, ICT software and websites.
Advice
This involves:
- helping students to understand and interpret information
- providing information and answers to questions
- clarifying misunderstandings
- understanding their circumstances, abilities and targets
- advising them on their options or how to go about a given course of action
- identifying needs and signposting or referring young people who may need more in-depth guidance and support.
Advisory work is usually provided on a one-to-one basis but may also be provided in small or class groups.
Guidance
Guidance aims to:
- support young people to better understand themselves and their needs
- confront barriers to understanding, learning and progression
- resolve issues and conflicts and to support them to develop new perspectives and solutions to problems and be able to better manage their lives and achieve their potential.
