Careers Programme

Sarum Academy Careers Leader is Mr Gareth Jones, representing the Academy Governance Committe is the Careers Link Governor George Brutton.

Careers Education makes a major contribution to preparing young people for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life. Good careers guidance widens pupils’ horizons, challenges stereotypes and raises aspirations.  

A planned progressive programme of activities supports pupils in choosing pathways that suit their interests and abilities, and help them to follow a career path, and sustain employability, throughout their working lives.

Equality and Diversity

Careers education is provided to all pupils and provision is made to allow all pupils to access the curriculum.  Pupils are encouraged to follow career paths that suit their interests, skills and strengths with the absence of stereotypes whatever their gender, sexuality ethnic background or religion.  All pupils are provided with the same opportunities and diversity is celebrated. 

Employers

We welcome involvement, engagement and contact from any local employers. If you think you can provide, insight, work experience or support to our students as to their future career paths we would love to hear from you! Please reach out in the first instance to Mr Gareth Jones - Careers Lead

Career education helps students to develop the skills that are needed to evaluate potential career paths. Our programme is designed to prepare students for life in Britain by providing the knowledge, understanding, confidence and skills that they need to make informed choices and plans for their future learning and career.
