Careers Guidance
Career Education at Ormiston Sudbury Academy
At Ormiston Sudbury Academy we are committed to providing high quality careers education to ensure our students can make well informed decisions about their future. Our Careers Programme is centred around the eight Gatsby Benchmarks to deliver good career guidance and promote a wide range of opportunities for students to engage with employers, apprenticeship providers, further and higher education institutions, so that students understand the vast range of career pathways available to them when they leave the Academy.
Detailed information about our careers programme can be found via the link on the left-hand side of the page. (Please note this is subject to change due to opportunities arising throughout the year.)
All students have access to the career platform, Unifrog, to help them explore career related topics and record their career learning reflect on in the future. Year 10 and 11 students are able to build a psychometric profiles that link to subjects and careers, enabling them to search for opportunities to explore in greater depth.
We believe that it is important for students to being their career learning early, which is why our career programme offers activities from Year 7 to inspire and motivate our students to fulfil their potential. Career lessons are delivered through the PSHE curriculum and cover many different topics from Year 7 -11, tailored to their needs at each stage.
In November 2023 we were reaccredited with ‘The Quality in Careers Standard’, a national quality award for CEIAG in schools and colleges, assessed by an external agency. Schools must demonstrate that their careers programme educates, prepares and inspires young people as they make decision about their future learning and work choices. Achieving the award means the parents/carers can be confident that the careers programme delivered at the Academy supports their young person.
