I am thrilled to be the new Careers Leader at Skinners’ Academy. I deeply believe that we live in a world where education is fundamentally a key path in a child’s life however it is just as important to provide a careers programme to support students to Aspire & Achieve a skill set that will enable them to ‘Be The Best You Can’ and succeed post education. A good quality careers education will raise the aspirations of all young people.

 We recognise that some of our student may need early intervention in Careers guidance to avoid them of becoming NEET (not in education, employment or training). 

I aim to build a strong careers department that will motivate all students by linking activities in school with preparation for life post 16 & 18. Careers Education Information & Guidance (CEIAG) will therefore contribute to raising student achievements, help students focus on their long-term career ambitions and ensure an equality of opportunity for all. 

Skinners' Academy is a part of the Careers Collaborative which is a Hackney Education initiative and allows participating schools access to the best information about careers, apprenticeships, workshops, open days, SEND provision as well as organising networking events for its members.

Please click on the documents below to view more information on  Skinners' Academy CEIAG Programme where you will be able to find details of student entitlement and related information about the programme. All information, together with the careers policy is reviewed and updated annually, however information may be revised throughout the year to reflect the new regulations and/or to meet the additional needs of students.
