CAREERS

Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) 

Careers, Education, Information, Advice & Guidance (CEIAG) at Tolworth Girls’ School & Sixth Form is delivered mainly within the tutorial, assembly & PSHE sessions facilitated and supported by specialist staff. 

The Careers Strategy sets out that every secondary school uses the following Gatsby Benchmarks to develop and improve careers’ provision: 

• A stable careers programme 

• Learning from career and labour market information 

• Addressing the needs of each pupil 

• Linking curriculum learning to careers 

• Encounters with employers and employees 

• Experiences of workplaces 

• Encounters with further and higher education 

• Personal guidance    

TGS is committed to providing a programme of careers education from Years 7 to 13 and to giving all students access to independent careers information and guidance through one to one bespoke guidance sessions. The aim is for students to identify the most appropriate pathway through their education in order to attain their future goals. 

POST 16

In England, all young people are now expected to remain in some form of education or training until they turn 18.

After finishing Year 11, students have several options to choose from. This doesn’t mean they must stay in school – there are different routes available depending on what suits them best. These include:

• Continuing full-time education at a school, college, or with a training provider

• Taking up full-time employment or volunteering, as long as it includes part-time study or training

• Starting an apprenticeship
