Careers Education at Park View School 

At Park View School, our goal is to help every young person grow in confidence and develop the skills and knowledge they need to make good decisions about their future. We want students to understand the wide range of opportunities available to them and to feel prepared for life beyond school.

From Year 7 to Year 11, all pupils take part in a planned Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) programme. This helps them explore different jobs, learn what employers are looking for and understand the qualifications and skills they’ll need. Teachers also link their subjects to real‑world careers so students can see how their learning connects to future pathways.

We follow the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks, which are national standards for high‑quality careers education. Throughout their time with us, students will have opportunities such as:

  • Meeting employers and learning about different industries
  • Exploring further education and training options
  • Taking part in work experience linked to their interests
  • Studying vocational courses at our Vocational Centre, including areas like Welding and Engineering

Our school website provides useful information for both parents and students, including links to employers, colleges, training providers and support services.

Our Careers and Transition Lead, Kyleigh Reay, meets regularly with students and families to offer guidance throughout their time at Park View and during their move into further education, training or employment.

We regularly review the impact of our careers programme by looking at:

  • Student engagement
  • Student progress
  • Feedback from students and parents
  • NEET figures (students not in education, employment or training)

A full careers programme is published at the start of each academic year and updated as needed.
