Filey School is committed to providing our students with a planned programme of activities to equip them with the necessary information and experiences to make appropriate choices with regards future study and employment.
Following the publication of the DfE Statutory Careers Guidance (January 2018) we have worked with our partners in HE, FE and NYBEP (North Yorkshire Business & Education Partnership) and NYCHEC (North Yorkshire Coast Higher Education Collaboration)to further improve and broaden the range of experiences available to our students. In the May 2018 Ofsted report, inspectors stated “Pupils value the advice and guidance they receive in relation to future career opportunities and further education. They say that, when the time comes to make decisions regarding GCSE subject choices or post-16 education, they are well prepared because teachers have provided astute advice and guidance.”
Outlined below, is our current careers programme, which shows the opportunities and experiences provided for our students in each academic year and term. In addition to the programme outlined below, CEIAG is also delivered as part of the PSHE programme by form tutors. From September 2020, the Academy designated Careers Leader is Mrs Amanda Pickering. Our statutory duty to give independent and impartial careers advice is provided by Careers Adviser, Mrs Rosemary Ellis, whose profile is here
Please feel free to contact either Mrs Pickering or Mrs Ellis if you require any further information about the Careers programme;
Schools are required to ensure that there is an opportunity for a range of education and training providers to access students in years 8 to 11 for the purposes of informing them about approved technical education, qualifications or apprenticeships.
Schools must also have a policy statement that outlines the circumstances in which education and training providers will be given access to these students.
This is outlined in section 42B of the Education Act 1997.
This policy statement shows how our school complies with these requirements.
All students in years 8 to 11 at Filey School are entitled to:
A provider wishing to request access should contact: Amanda Pickering, Careers & PSHCEE Leader. Telephone: 01723 512354 Email: a.pickering@fi.coastandvale.academy
A number of events, integrated into our careers programme and including parents evenings will offer providers an opportunity to come into school to speak to students and/or their parents/carers. Please speak to Amanda Pickering to identify the most suitable opportunity for you.
Our safeguarding/child protection policy outlines the school’s procedure for checking the identity and suitability of visitors. Education and training providers will be expected to adhere to this policy.
