Holyhead School recognises that it has a statutory duty to provide impartial and objective Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) to pupils in Years 7 to 13. CEIAG at Holyhead School is seen as an integral part of the curriculum, which is available for every pupil.
CEIAG enables the pupils to make impartial, informed, balanced and appropriate decisions about many key areas of their future development, progression and career pathways. CEIAG at Holyhead School is completely impartial and it enables CEIAG to be delivered in an objective and balanced manner by all staff so that each pupil receives exactly the same opportunities to explore potential pathways. CEIAG is delivered across the curriculum and through our Career Days. We also have a dedicated CEIAG Adviser in school along with a Careers Drop-In room, which is available for every pupil.
In addition to this, any advice or guidance given to pupils is personalised and appropriate. Holyhead School also believes that working with outside agencies is an invaluable part of the CEIAG curriculum on offer.
