A careers education is statutory for children when they reach Secondary School. However, at Two Moors we believe that all children - right from our very youngest in Nursery - should be given the opportunity to dream, aspire and imagine what they would possibly be able to do after their time at school and how what they are learning now, both the curriculum and the character development will help them achieve this. We have created four main aims for our careers programme:
Encounters: To expose our children to as many different careers as possible by the time they leave us in Year Six.
Stereotypes: To break down (in particular, gender and disabilities) stereotypes with regards to careers and show that most people are able to do any job.
Understanding: To give our children an understanding of what skills and knowledge they will need to have for different types of careers, and how this journey begins in Primary School, continues through Secondary School and then beyond. To build the understanding that learning is linked with their future.
Aspirations: To raise our children’s aspirations of what careers are possible to them.
Our school is taking part in a Devon-wide careers programme called 'Start Small: Dream Big' which aims to help bring careers teaching into the classroom. This website outlines a list of essential skills that they believe children should work towards in order for them to be more successful in their future careers.
Below are some of the visitors that we have had in school talking about their journeys and careers. If you would like to come and visit us to speak with the children, please contact the school office!
