Rossington All Saints Academy Careers Vision

Careers education and guidance programmes play an integral role in supporting young people in pathways that suit their interests, abilities, and individual needs. At Rossington All Saints Academy we aim to inspire students with our motivational careers programme. A robust careers programme puts school learning into a wider and more relevant context and helps raise aspirations. This will drive students to take pride in their futures, increase their resilience and thus create an aspirational generation of young adults for our local and wider community. Our vision is to encourage students to take pride in themselves, increase their resilience and create an aspirational generation of young adults for our local and wider community.

Our Careers programme runs from Year 7 to Year 11 and prepares students well for life after they leave school. It is designed to align with the eight Gatsby Benchmarks which are recognised by the government as outlining the requirements of an excellent careers programme.

Students have many encounters with employers and learn about the different careers and the various routes into these careers. It helps students to find careers that suit them and prepare them to follow their desired path.

Students learn about the different work sectors and are taught to challenge the various stereotypes and discrimination that exists in the world of work. Students learn how to take responsibility for their own careers by planning for the future.

They learn how to create an effective CV and learn useful skills such as developing a professional and successful interview technique.

The programme supports pupils through each of the transitions they face such as choosing Year 9 options and deciding what to do after Year 11 and securing their post 16 destination.
