At Cann Bridge School, our Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) programme is an integral part of our curriculum offer, designed to equip every learner with the knowledge, skills, and experiences they need to make informed decisions about their futures.

We are committed to providing a high-quality, meaningful, and developmental careers programme that is tailored to the individual needs of our learners. This programme enables learners from Year 7 through to Year 14 to explore a wide range of education, employment, and training opportunities, including technical education and apprenticeships. It is enriched with real-world learning and underpinned by a progressive structure that supports learners as they prepare for adulthood.

Our CEIAG curriculum:

  • Ensures learners, parents, carers, and teachers have access to accurate and up-to-date information about careers, pathways, and opportunities.
  • Embeds the Gatsby Benchmarks throughout the careers programme, aligning with the statutory guidance from the Department for Education.
  • Provides regular and meaningful encounters with employers, employees, and workplace environments, fostering aspiration and broadening learners' understanding of the world of work.
  • Facilitates encounters with a range of post-16 and post-18 providers, supporting informed and aspirational transition planning.
  • Supports all learners to progress to a sustained, positive destination that is right for them, recognising and celebrating diverse pathways including supported internships, further education, employment, or social care provision.
  • Meets the school's legal duty to ensure access for a range of education and training providers, in accordance with the Provider Access Legislation, ensuring learners are informed of all available options.

Through a carefully planned, learner-centred approach, Cann Bridge School aims to empower each individual to achieve their potential and take confident steps towards adulthood and independence.

Quality Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) is a vital part of all learners’ entitlement and learning. We provide appropriate activities and experiences to enable our learners and their families to make well-informed decisions and successful transitions in life and work. We support learners in preparing for their preferred transitional pathway, whether that is continuing with further education, entering employment or training, or adult social care. We take a person-centred approach to pupil outcomes through our EHCP Annual Review process, where we work with all stakeholders to shape clear and ambitious targets to prepare pupils for their next steps.

Our Careers Lead is Jennie Ferrett. She can be reached at jferrett@cannbridge.co.uk or by phone at 01752 207909.

Our Careers Advisor is Kate Cable, who provides impartial Information, Advice, and Guidance and works for the Careers Plymouth.
