Careers Strategy & Impact Measurement
At Kettlethorpe High School, careers information, advice and guidance are interwoven into the holistic curriculum model in all years from 7 -11. In 2023, we were proud to receive the Quality in Careers Standard. The majority of careers education is delivered through comprehensive careers programme, which is supplemented by several immersion events throughout the pupil’s five-year journey. All pupils also have access to Xello, a careers education program that fully engages every student in building the skills, knowledge, and plans for future success — regardless of background, ability, or pathway. The careers lead for the school works closely with external careers agencies and other external partners to provide employer contact and opportunities to experience the workplace and wider world of work as well as satisfy the requirements of the Baker Clause to have impartial access and opportunities to discuss alternative, non-academic pathways. In addition, pupils can access events and study days provided by local universities, colleges and employers. The school has a Careers Leader and an external Careers Advisor from The Shaw Group to provide independent and impartial personal information and guidance for pupils. The number of days for this personalised guidance has been increased for 2024 onwards. The overview below is available to all pupils and is an outline of what is offered and is not exhaustive of what is on offer to pupils throughout their time with us at Kettlethorpe High School.
