At the back of the policy, each of our academies has listed how they meet these obligations, what their CEIAG provision consists of and how they are working towards the Gatsby Benchmarks.
Any provider wishing to request access should contact our careers leader (see above).
To assist providers, we have provided a full list of our CEIAG annual programme.
Speakers will expect to be supervised in line with our Child Protection and Safeguarding policy.

This statement sets out the school’s arrangements for managing the access of providers to students at the academy for the purposes of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997.
Opportunities for access our provision includes various opportunities for students to access a range of events. These are mainly integrated into the careers programme and curriculum (see the strategy and policy document for further information). These events are therefore delivered internally, with contribution from external providers where appropriate.
A provider wishing to request access should contact the Careers Lead, via the school contact details available on this website. Local providers are invited to key relevant events. The Trust’s policy on safeguarding and child protection sets out the school’s approach to allowing providers into school as visitors to talk to our students.
Once visits have been agreed, the school will provide appropriate rooming to facilitate the visit, along with any equipment requested by the provider, where it is available.
Providers are welcome to leave a copy of their prospectus or other relevant course literature at reception which will be displayed in the careers section of the library which is managed by our Careers Advisor. The library is available to all students at lunch, break time and after school.
