Rationale and Intent 

At Newminster Middle School, we are committed to providing all students with a forward-looking and inclusive careers education. Our programme supports students in making informed, aspirational, and realistic decisions about their futures. We aim to raise aspirations, broaden horizons, and equip learners with the knowledge and skills to thrive beyond school. We recognise the role of a robust CEIAG programme in contributing to social mobility. 

Guiding Principles for the Careers Education Programme 

Our careers provision is guided by the following principles:

• Inclusivity: All students, including those with additional needs, are supported
• Progression: Careers education is developmental and tailored to students’ stages and needs
• Relevance: Information is up-to-date, impartial, and aligned with the labour market. This is achieved through the involvement of the school with regional Careers Hubs
• Engagement: Students have meaningful interactions with a range of providers and employers. They are inspired to chase their dreams
• Empowerment: We build students’ confidence and readiness for future transitions.
• Impartiality: Presenting information in an impartial manner
