Curriculum

Careers

Careers Education is an important part of the school curriculum. It features a co-ordinated programme, which involves the whole school community: pupils, parents, staff and local business people. Learning co-ordinators, tutors, subject teachers and the Careers Co-ordinator work in partnership with the Careers Service to provide a well-developed approach to Careers, which is matched to the individual needs of the pupil.

The main aim of Careers Education at Malet Lambert is to ensure that all pupils are effective planners and managers of their own careers in a rapidly changing world of learning and work.

Our belief at Malet Lambert is that all pupils are entitled to Careers Education and Guidance which:-

is independent and impartial
is easily accessible
is structured and forms an integral part of pupils’ overall education
recognises the contribution of others, particularly parents, to this process
respects the confidentiality of personal information

Careers Education is an integral part of the PSCHE programme for years 7 - 11. Subject teachers are also encouraged to talk with pupils about their career aspirations and can refer pupils to careers staff to gather further information. Staff from local colleges and training providers attend parents’ evenings offering parents and pupils the opportunity to discuss progression routes after year 11. A Careers Fair is held annually allowing pupils from years 9, 10 and 11 to talk with a range of careers providers. In year 10, pupils visit local colleges as part of the Taster Days programme. They also have the opportunity to take part in the flourishing Work Experience Scheme. In year 11, representatives from colleges and training providers deliver presentations to pupils before pupils complete applications through www.logonmoveon.co.uk .

There are a variety of parents’ evenings at which different aspects of careers are presented.
