Welcome to Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) at
Weavers Academy.

At Weavers Academy, we are committed to ensuring that all students are fully supported and guided throughout the process of planning their futures. We offer a robust programme of careers education, information, advice, and guidance for all students from Years 7 to 13. With this comprehensive approach, we believe our students are well-prepared to make informed, impartial and independent decisions and succeed in whatever career paths they choose.

Employability skills are an integral part of our curriculum intent. As a school, we are committed to preparing our students to be work ready, not just from an academic viewpoint but by helping them to develop the key skills and qualities needed for a successful career in an ever-changing world.

Our careers curriculum provision is integrated into PSHE lessons and form time and covers information on further and higher education, universities, colleges, apprenticeships, levels and types of qualifications, employment, CVs, applications and interview techniques, linking the curriculum to careers, whilst focussing on the individual student. Our CEIAG programme is based on the eight Gatsby Benchmarks, which are recognised as the foundation for good careers provision. 

CEIAG is also delivered through various other opportunities and activities during the student’s life at school, including assemblies, employer encounters, trips and visits, experience of workplaces, encounters with further and higher education providers, personal guidance and signposting.

Our in-school Ambition Lead for Careers, Mrs Laura Cain, is a Level 6 qualified member of the Careers Development Institute and has extensive experience in guidance, signposting and helping students understand their options, through impartial and informed advice.
