Careers

At TQEA we have a comprehensive careers’ programme covering a wide range of opportunities and options for students to find out about and then investigate further.  We measure and assess the impact of our careers’ programme on pupils by the % of positive destinations students achieve when leaving TQEA and compliance with the Gatsby benchmarks.

Intent

Students are entitled to leave TQEA with the ability to compete nationally and globally in their chosen career. They will be given a wide range of information and advice about a range of careers throughout their education pathway.

Our Careers Lead is Mr Martin Webb

The Baker Clause – Opportunities for access

A number of events, integrated into the school careers programme, will offer providers an opportunity to communicate with pupils and/or their parents.   If you would like to present about approved technical education qualifications, apprenticeships or careers in your field of work please contact:

Mr M Webb, Teacher in Charge of Careers Education

    • Telephone: 01827 712477

The school will discuss and agree the most suitable method for your presentation.

Providers are welcome to send a copy of their prospectus or other relevant course literature for communication to the relevant cohort.

The school policies on safeguarding and visitors, (click here for our policies), set out the school’s approach to allowing providers into school as visitors to talk to our students.
