Careers Education, Information Advice and Guidance makes a major contribution to preparing young people for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life, in order to help them make a successful transition to adulthood and a place of work:

• Preparing pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life
• Supporting young people to achieve their full potential
• Empowering young people to plan and manage their own futures
• Providing comprehensive information on all options
• Raising aspirations
• Promoting equality, diversity, social mobility and challenging stereotypes
• Enabling young people to sustain employability and achieve personal and economic wellbeing throughout their lives

Hexham Middle School is committed to providing all its pupils with a planned programme of careers education throughout their school life. We are also committed to maximising the benefits for pupils by using a whole school approach involving parents, carers, external stakeholders including employers, further education providers and other local agencies such North East Learning and Enterprise Partnership (NELEP). As a school, we are actively working towards meeting the Careers Gatsby Benchmarks with an aspiration to develop up-to-date careers knowledge and employability skills, making pupils ready for their next steps in education and beyond.
