Our Vision

CEIAG is crucial in order to meet the skills, knowledge and understanding needed by each student. The schools careers plan is made up of the DFE “Careers Guidance and Inspiration in Schools” dated October 2018, The Matrix Standard and the Gatsby Benchmarks.

Benchmark 1 – A stable careers programme

Benchmark 2 – Learning from career and labour market information

Benchmark 3 – Addressing the needs of each pupil

Benchmark 4 – Linking curriculum learning to careers

Benchmark 5 – Encounters with employers and employees

Benchmark 6 – Experiences of workplaces

Benchmark 7 – Encounters with further and higher education Benchmark 8 – Personal guidance

The staff and governors at Thomas Bennett community college recognise that career planning is not limited to just one stage in life. For this reason careers education and guidance aims to develop a range of skills which students can draw on at each stage in their career planning. The CEIAG program is continually evaluated to improve its effectiveness.
