Marden High School, North Shields

Our Vision

At Marden High School we are committed to providing our students with a Careers Programme which is engaging, inspiring and individualised. Qualifications such as GCSE and A level are changing, and opportunities in higher education extend now beyond the UK to other parts of Europe and further afield. Students need help to make choices and manage transitions: they need good quality careers education, information, advice and guidance.

Our Intent

It is intended that throughout the programme of CEIAG pupils will be provided with information, advice, guidance and practical experiences which will ultimately help them to make positive decisions for their future, as well as encouraging a culture of lifetime learning. We motivate each student to succeed in whatever route they choose beyond compulsory education; higher education, training or employment.

Our Careers Programme

At Marden High School we provide a comprehensive CEIAG programme across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4. The programme of CEIAG is developed at the start of key stage 3, with effective primary- secondary transition. Our school develops a curriculum that is ‘fit for purpose’ and appropriate for the needs of all individuals based on an understanding of the academic and personal strengths of each young person.

The Careers programme is developed in consideration of the CDI (Career Development Institute) framework and the Gatsby Report’s Benchmarks.  Three key areas of focus are:

• Self Development– through careers, employability and enterprise education
• Careers Exploration– learning about careers and the world of work
• Careers Management– learning how to develop career management and employability skills

CEIAG is ongoing throughout the academic year and is delivered in different formats, including:

• Lessons delivered as part of the Personal Development Curriculum
• Super Learning Days
• Reflection time during registration
• Workshops and presentations delivered by industry specialist
• One to One Career Interviews by qualified Careers Advisers
• Assemblies
• Career Fairs
• Work experience week
