CAREERS MAPPING FOR YR7-YR11
At Cranbury College we believe that every child should leave school prepared for life in modern Britain.
We aim to do this by:
-
Providing high quality taught curricular pathways which mean that students can develop skills, knowledge and attributes which will help them in the next phase of their education and in the world of work.
-
Ensuring academic rigour and high quality teaching on all of the curricular pathways so that students make strong progress outcomes significantly above the national average.
-
Providing a range of extra-curricular activities which build on and extend the taught curriculum so as to underpin success in education and employment.
-
Providing a programme of high quality, independent careers guidance from Year 8.
-
Drawing on strong links with local businesses and training organisations to provide students with inspirational experience of the work place and contact with people working in different sectors of business.
Below is an overview of our provision against the above aims.
Foundation Stage Priorities:
-
Experiencing a broad and balanced curriculum
-
Developing strong English and maths skills (and narrowing any inherited gaps)

Working with outside agencies
When working with outside agencies, we share with them our aims for Careers Education, so they are clear about their role in the delivery of this provision.
