Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) 

A young person's career is their pathway through learning and work. All young people need a planned programme of activities to help them make the choices that are right for them and to be able to manage their careers throughout their lives.           

We aim to equip our students with the knowledge, skills and attributes to make the most of changing opportunities in learning and work. At Rossett all students will follow a planned Careers Education Information and Guidance programme, which will help them to make these important decisions. 

CEIAG is delivered to all students in Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and Sixth Form. The programmes for delivery to Years 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11 are separately organised from the Year 12 & 13 programmes, where the responsibility for their management rests with the Sixth Form Leadership Team. 

The delivery of the careers programme for all students is through Personal Development lessons, combined with support from the Careers Adviser, the Careers Leader, careers themed assemblies, off-timetable days, external visitors such as employers, guest speakers and visits to external organisations and events.

The Careers Programme Years 7-13

The provision of Careers Education is embedded into the weekly Personal Development lessons at Rossett School. The lessons delivered have been developed by the career platform, Unifrog, which has developed a spiral curriculum using the CDI (Career Development Institute) learning aims. Each lesson is mapped against the CDI framework and the Gatsby Benchmarks. An overview of what is covered in lessons for each year group throughout the academic year is summarised below.

How our School Measures and Assesses the Impact of our Careers Programme on Pupils

The careers programme at Rossett School is reviewed regularly so we can closely look at the needs of our students and how we can best meet them. 

Careers education is delivered and assessed as an integral part of the Personal Development programme which is reviewed annually.  

Students' knowledge, understanding and progress is measured through students' completion of the Career and Enterprise Company's, Compass + Future Skills Questionnaire, which enables us to identify specific areas of strength and areas for further development.

CEIAG policy is reviewed annually, and destination data enables us to monitor the progression of our students and the impact of the CEIAG provision. 

Ongoing feedback and evaluations from careers activity is collected during the year as we recognise the important role that students, parents, employers and other external providers have in shaping a child’s career development and the responsibility we have as a school to provide an aspirational, supportive and effective careers programme for all.
