Vision statement
Our students are ambitious with their career choices and have a clear understanding of how their time in school directly affects their career after.
Vision rationale
Providing students with outstanding careers guidance is of the utmost importance. It is the key to opening our students’ eyes to the possibilities and opportunities available to them once they leave school. It is our job to raise their social mobility, show them what is out there and guide them towards making good, appropriate education and careers choices that will enable them to have a rewarding career. It is our vision for careers guidance at Bedlington Academy is that all students have access to appropriate and bespoke careers guidance at every stage of their academic career that enables them to successfully access the next stage of their career.
We deliver careers education in a variety of ways to all pupils from Year 7 to Year 13 and beyond to ensure that our young people are making informed and well-supported decisions. Our Tutorial and Personal Development programme encourages our pupils to think about career planning from their earliest time in school and develop a positive approach in everything they do. We are actively involved in a range of projects to enable our young people to understand the breadth of opportunities available to them in their future education and employment, and partner with several organisations that support us in this aspiration.
