The Department for Education’s Statutory guidance for governing bodies, school leaders and school staff sets out the expectations of schools which includes:
• Every school must ensure that there is an opportunity for a range of education and training
providers to access all pupils in year 8 to year 13 for the purpose of informing them about approved technical education qualifications or apprenticeships.
• Every school must publish a policy statement setting out their arrangements for provider access and ensure that it is followed.
