Careers Advice

As part of improving the quality and effectiveness of Barton Manor's Careers Education and Guidance for our students, Mr Wilcock (Careers Coordinator) will work with governors, heads of year, teaching staff, students, parents, external agencies, further education institutions and businesses so that Barton Manor continues to ensure that our students receive excellent Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG).

Contact Details for Key Staff:

Mr Wilcock, Director of Modern Foreign Languages and Careers Coordinator – rwilcock@bartonmanor.org

Barton Manor will work to achieve the 8 Gatsby Careers Benchmarks, which reflect international best practice, to improve careers provision.

The School will use Compass, an online self-evaluation tool for schools to use to assess how careers support compares against the Gatsby Benchmarks and the national average.

Barton Manor School is working with The Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC) which will provide external support to the School. The aim will be for every student from Year 7-13 to have at least one meaningful encounter each year with employers, and that these encounters will inspire pupils and allow them to learn about what work is like, or what it takes to be successful in the workforce. In addition to this, the School’s aim is for all or the majority of pupils to have encounters with further or higher education establishments. Students will have encounters with these organisations whilst in school (in addition to the access we provide to apprenticeships and universities).

From Year 7, students are encouraged to actively develop knowledge and skills that contribute to their preparations for the world of employment across a range of subjects, tutor time and dedicated focus days. Activities, including business and enterprise projects as well as workshops and specialist speakers, support our provision for our students.

Every pupil, and their parents/carers, should have access to good quality information about future study options and labour market opportunities. The National Careers Service offers information and professional advice about education, training and work to adults and young people aged 13 years and over. Pupils and their parents/carers can access support via a website, helpline and web chat. For more information, visit:
