Careers Advice

In this section you can read about our Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) and Work Related Learning (WRL).

At Harris Academy St. John's Wood, we understand that all young students need to prepare themselves for progression through learning and education into adulthood.

We will prepare students for life after school along with progression routes Post 16 (to further education such as Sixth Form or College) and Post 18 (to higher education, university, apprenticeships or to the world of work). There are many opportunities and experiences they will gain in the process into the world of work. They will learn 'life skills' and 'skills for life'.

Harris Academy St. John's Wood is committed to providing a planned programme of activities, Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) for all students, regardless of their culture and ethnicity, background or ability.

All students will benefit from the planned events and activities to help them make informed decisions in preparation for life, work and as responsible adults, making a valuable contribution to society and their communities.

These activities and events will be unbiased, impartial and based on the individual needs of each student. We will aim to provide a varied programme that meets individuals’ needs working in partnership with our Federation Careers Advisor, parents, carers and teachers. Harris Academy St. John's Wood will consult with students and involve them in the planning, implementation and monitoring of the programme.

Through the curriculum at Harris Academy St. John's Wood, the CEIAG programme is provided and delivered to specific year groups through a number of different methods including assemblies, Tutor Time activities, themed Innovation Days, 1-1 interviews with SEND/EAL students, Unifrog (a web-based careers programme), and working with employers through workshops.

Students will also be advised and encouraged to undertake an element of independent research into all aspects of looking ahead using Unifrog. The below widget also allows comparisons across different professions:
