These careers programmes relate to the 8 ‘Gatsby Benchmarks’ which is part of the careers strategy from the Department for Education. The strategy is a whole school approach to delivering careers guidance to all of our students throughout their time at Newbridge School.

1. A stable careers programme with a careers leader

2. Learning from careers and labour market information

3. Addressing the needs of each student

4. Linking curriculum learning with careers

5. Encounters with employers and employees

6. Experience of work places

7. Encounters with HE and further education

8. Personal guidance

These benchmarks are met by delivering a range of activities from 1:1 guidance, external speakers, visiting higher and further education establishments and business sectors, work placements, careers fairs and through the curriculum.

A number of events, integrated into the school careers programme, will offer providers an opportunity to come into school to speak to our students, please see below for a sample of these opportunities.
