Our careers policy can be found here

The Baker Clause was introduced within the Technical and Further Education Act 2017, which states that schools must allow colleges and training providers access to every student in years 8 – 13 to discuss non-academic routes that are available to them. It is expected that by doing so this will help address the UK’s productivity challenges and address skills shortages across sectors of the economy. We have links with Connexions  who provide impartial information, advice, guidance and support for 13 -19 year olds to help parents and families explore choices both educationally, work based or social care packages as our students transition to adult life.
