Recommendations: • More support for careers guidance at secondary school level • Better labour market information for young people & more engagement with employers – including in colleges • A significant expansion of career-related learning at primary level. Parental engagement research: Based on a literature review and Stakeholder interviews • Parents are important – they can be both a positive and negative influence • Shared career conversations can be more effective • Parents need to be supported • There is a lack of evidence about impactful interventions. What’s next? • Develop a school/college-wide parental engagement strategy (based on feedback) • Determine what CEG is needed through analysis and be prepared to differentiate • Ensure the relationship is not reduced to a static series of concrete activities • Embed engagement in the curriculum and promote it to parents • Redesign existing activities to involve parents • Create parent-friendly environments which draw them in and use technology. Enterprise Adviser update: • 112 matches • Increased number of CPD sessions for schools and colleges • CPD being developed for Enterprise Advisers • Other examples of recent engagement with schools and colleges: ❑ Business Breakfasts ❑ Strategic planning meetings with key staff ❑ LMI sessions for students. News: for SEND schools Dates for the diary: Thursday 12 March - Leeds 2 – 7 March ‘It’s Your Future’ - Monday 2 March at 8.00am • Resources • Marketplace • Opportunities Bulletin. …and finally Thank you – have a great day!

Pay the LA for this service for 3 years . Pay an external provider e.g. Careers Inc for 2 years tracking and then an internal member of staff will track the 3rd year . Have an internal member of staff who track students for 3 years Destinations Data Tracking: Shuttleworth College, Lancashire Destinations Data Tracking: Shuttleworth College, Lancashire Destinations Data Tracking: Key Points Local Authority Data LA tracking for up to 3 years* Can be within broader service level agreement including 1:1 Personal Guidance packages Allocated School Resource: Schools/colleges Human Resource Career Leader/Admin Staff/Whole School GDPR Considerations Resources to manage GDPR barriers: GDPR permissions to be embedded within Year 11 systems Stakeholder Engagement and rationale is key Local collaboration and networks also support smoother data capture Template within government guidance Intent To build alumni network To inform improved provision St John’s School and Sixth Form College: A flexible approach to collecting destinations data Discussion How do you currently track Destination Data?

  • Provision Statement PDF File
    CEIAG Provision at Thornhill Academy Thornhill Academy believes that all young people need help to become, and remain, active citizens in our rapidly changing society. Careers in the 21 st century are very different to those of the 20 th century and our pupils need to be given the chance to develop the skills necessary for continued employment in this world of work in the future. Young people should be helped to develop a strong interest in, and aptitude for, work related activities and their own enterprise capability. Thornhill Academy believes that our Career Education, Information, Advice and Guidance program fulfils our statutory obligation to secure access to independent, impartial careers guidance for all pupils from Year 8 upwards on the full range of 16 to 18 options and beyond in education and training including apprenticeships. Our CEIAG program also covers careers education and guidance, financial capability and a basic understanding of economics, business and enterprise for all pupils from Year 7 onwards. In short, pupils cover: Year 7 – Introduction to Careers “Who Am I Now?” Year 8 – Learning about Careers “Who Could I Be?” Year 9 – Developing My Skills Year 10 – Becoming Employable Year 11 – Preparing for My Future The program is delivered and monitored by tutors and subject teachers in school, through work based activities, visits and external speakers and through projects and programmes offered by external agencies and organisations. In order to help us deliver our CEIAG program we work closely with a number of organisations including Sunderland College, ESH, Foundation of Light, Sunderland Work Discovery, Nissan, University of Sunderland, Regional Careers Network, Northern Rights Pathfinder and NECOP.

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.

  • Inspection of Excelsior Academy Denton Road, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE15 6AF
    School report Inspection of Excelsior Academy Denton Road, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Tyne and Wear NE15 6AF Inspection dates: 10–11 March 2020 Overall effectiveness Requires improvement The quality of education Requires improvement Behaviour and attitudes Good Personal development Good Leadership and management Good Early years provision Requires improvement Sixth-form provision Good Previous inspection grade Requires improvement What is it like to attend this school? Excelsior Academy is a unique and complex school. It caters for primary and secondary-aged pupils from a deprived multi-cultural community. Around half of pupils speak English as an additional language. Pupils speak over 40 different languages. Many pupils join or leave the school during the school year. Pupils do not do well enough in their studies. Early years education is not providing a good enough start. Standards of reading are too low at the end of the primary phase. In the secondary phase, pupils have made poor progress in recent years. Not enough pupils gain the qualifications they need to get on in life. However, leaders are addressing these problems. Teaching is improving, and the curriculum is becoming more ambitious. Different cultures integrate happily. The staff work hard to build up positive and trusting relationships. The vast majority of pupils behave well and conduct themselves sensibly. Inevitably, a few pupils find it difficult to integrate and abide by the rules. Leaders do all they can to keep these pupils in education. The school does much to support pupils’ personal and social development. Sometimes, pupils fall out with one another. However, there is little bullying.
