Careers led learning is structured in a variety of ways. Here are some of the examples of careers education and experiences that happen across the school:

​

• PSHE sessions – Living in the wider world
   

• Skills Builder programme – practical activities that focus on developing skills that are important in the world of work ( eg communication, team building, problem solving)
   

• Guest speakers in school to share their career path, tell us how they achieved their ambitions and how they challenged stereotypes. We had recent visits from Stoke City Women’s football team and local Olympic gymnast Sam Oldham
   

• Sessions with employers who tell us about their company and the roles within it and set tasks for our pupils to carry out. View the photos below to see our visit from Destination rail
   

• Visits to workplaces to see a range of jobs in action
   

• Enterprise initiatives – designing and making products in line with a set of criteria. See the video below of our Rymans Primary Enterprise challenge
   

• Careers Fairs – pupils learn about a variety of careers and sectors, especially those in the local sector. Please see photos below of the careers fair at Co-Op Academy
