Careers and Progression

All students at ISN are entitled to a five-year programme of activities to develop their readiness for each step of their time at school, the future demands of work and the wider world.

Students will:

• Develop self-awareness, self-determination and self-improvement as a learner
• Develop employment knowledge and skills through careers, employability and enterprise education
• Learn about career sectors and the world of work
• Develop business and enterprise skills
• Receive impartial information, advice and guidance
• Develop their self-awareness, resilience and sense of well-being
• Value equality, diversity and inclusion
• Be well prepared for each stage of their journey in education, training and employment

Training is on-going for all members of staff that deliver aspects of the career programme. School leaders ensure they are fully qualified to deliver an impactful and relevant programme, including the best quality careers conversations. On-going training for departments to reference the world of work is important. The school has based their programme on the Gatsby Benchmarks and advice from the Careers Development Institute.
