The Sprowston Community Academy’s careers programme aims to:
• encourage students to be ambitious, broaden their horizons and explore their own career aspirations throughout their life at school
• ensure students’ readiness to take their next step in their learning or career.
Sprowston Community Academy follows the principles of the Gatsby Benchmarks (link below).
The objectives for the careers programme are as follows:
• helping students to understand the changing world of work
• facilitating meaningful encounters with employers for all students
• supporting positive transitions post-16 and post-18
• enabling students to develop the research skills to find out about opportunities
• helping students to develop the skills, attitudes and qualities to make a successful transition into the world of work
• encouraging participation in continued learning, including further and higher education and apprenticeships
• supporting inclusion, challenging stereotyping and promoting equality of opportunity
• contributing to strategies for raising achievement, particularly by increasing motivation.
