The Elton High SchoolCareers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance
The Elton High School is fully committed to providing high quality careers education, information, advice and guidance to all students. CEIAG is accorded a high priority in effectively preparing students for the opportunities and challenges of adult working life and is seen as playing an instrumental role in motivating our students to maximise their academic and personal achievement.
There is in place a robust programme of careers education and access to providers for all students in Years 7 to 11, such that all students will leave our school with the skills and knowledge required to support their entry into further and higher education, training or employment. Students’ families are integral to this and are supported and encouraged to be so through access to information and events throughout the year. Parents and carers are encouraged to read the CEIAG programme of study that is in place (see below) and to feedback their views.
Our programme takes in to account the government’s advice to schools, as outlined in their statutory guidance, dated January 2018.
All students take part in a careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) programme that:
- aims to inspire, as well as inform and guide students;
- is developed around the student and their needs;
- is integrated into the students’ experience of the whole curriculum;
- encourages all students to consider possible career choices throughout key stage 3 and 4;
- encourages all students to develop skills that make them ‘work ready’, such as presentation, communication, decision making and entrepreneurial skills;
- provides each student with high quality, impartial advice;
- raises aspirations and promotes equality and diversity.

CEIAG Programme of Study Our careers education programme is primarily managed through our Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) curriculum, which is delivered through a weekly Personal Development lesson to all students. In addition to this, our enrichment programme provides many opportunities for students to engage with a number of external agencies such as colleges, employers, motivational speakers, uniformed services. In addition we endeavour to provide students with many other offsite opportunities such as college taster days, university campus visits, university summer school, subject curriculum trips to name a few.
