Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) makes a major contribution to the education of all learners. The school provides a stable, structured careers programme of information, advice and guidance for learners to learn about employment, the world of work, the skills required and qualification pathways available to them. This is developed throughout learners' time at the school and is always supportive of their aspirations, strengths and skills.

We have been re-accredited for the national Quality in Careers Standard until June 2026 for "fully meeting all the accreditation criteria incorporating the Gatsby Benchmarks" and have been recognised for our excellent careers education, information, advice and guidance provision.
