Aims

We aim to ensure a high quality of vocational and careers education for young people with special educational needs, to be delivered in a meaningful and appropriate way for their needs and circumstances.

Our vision is to equip our pupils

with skills, understanding and confidence to make a positive transition at the end of their time at the school whether this be in further education, employment or independent and supported living.

We have high career aspirations, and we aim to widen our pupils’ ambitions for employment.

Through opportunities for taster sessions, work experience, mentoring, inspiring speakers, and role models we aim to support help young people to make informed decisions about their future aspiration.

Learner Entitlement

All young people in Years 7-14 are entitled

  • To find out about Further and Higher Education qualifications, supported internships, apprenticeship opportunities, paid employment and volunteering as part of their careers programme
  • To hear from a range of local providers about the opportunities they offer through events, Jobs Fairs, College Links, EHCP reviews and transition planning meetings
  • To understand how to make applications for Further Education courses, supported internships, apprenticeships, paid employment and volunteering opportunities
  • To know about alternative provision in the community for those where further education or employment is not suitable

Management and Delivery

Our careers strategy aims to ensure continued improvements and quality assurance. To do this we carry out self-review and evaluation of the school’s programme. We measure our programme against the ‘Gatsby Benchmarks’ using the Compass online self-assessment tool.

The Government expects all schools to use the eight Gatsby Benchmarks to improve their careers provision:

Kisharon Noé School is committed to fulfilling its statutory duty to secure independent and impartial Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) for young people in Years 8-13 under Section 29 of the Education Act 2011 (Section 45A of part VII of the Education Act 1997).
