At Lift Ryde we believe an excellent curriculum is an important foundation to deliver our mission of an excellent education to every child in every classroom and everyday. Our Careers provision is woven into our curriculum, and is built to enable our students to achieve aspirational futures.
A range of opportunities are open to students as they progress through the school to help them develop their career aspirations. These range from enterprise days, mock interviews, careers fairs, visits to employer sites and work experience. All students have access to an impartial careers advisor and a range of post-16 providers who inform students of the different pathways available to them.
What students experience
Key Stage 3 students are aware of careers stereotypes and of their own personal attributes. They have special assemblies, enterprise days, team building activities.
Key Stage 4 students have a clearer idea of possible pathways post-16 and develop their career management skills. They have opportunities to visit HE and careers fairs and encounters a range of with employers, as well as support with applications, interviews and planning.
Sixth Form students are aspirational and well informed about future options, including HE, FE, apprenticeships and employment. All students leave with the ability to make decisions about destinations and future pathways.
They visit university open days, careers fairs and HE fairs, apprenticeship workshops. We also have visits from alumni, university speakers, student finance and employers. Sixth Form students spend one week in a work experience placement.
