Student Entitlement

SEND learners are supported and activities differentiated to ensure access. The programme promotes equality of opportunity, inclusion and anti-racism. Throughout their time at KJIA, students will have many opportunities to participate in high quality careers provision based on the Gatsby Benchmarks while learning from employers about work, employment and the skills valued in the workplace.

Implementation
All staff at King James I Academy contribute to the CEIAG programme through their roles as tutors and subject teachers. CEIAG is planned, monitored and evaluated by the teacher in charge and progression tutor in consultation with relevant staff. Students are aware of their role and how to access their help. An SLT link and Academy CEIAG link governor contribute planning experience and expertise to the programme and participate in reviews. Up-to-date, accurate Careers information and diagnostic tools are available to students and parents on the Academy website in the ‘Careers Zone’( Student / Careers Information Page). This includes the National Careers Service website as a valuable online resource as well as LMI for All and Higher Ideas. Students have formal interviews with a qualified careers adviser in years 9, 10, 11,12 and 13. Also years 7 and 8 students can request a careers interview at any time. SEND students are supported in interviews, reviews and transitions to their chosen career pathway. Student participation in career activities, contact with the world of work and end of key stage 4 and 5 destinations are tracked and monitored. An annual careers fair is held in the Autumn Term where students from year 8 – 13 can access information from training providers, employers, the armed services, technical education providers and apprenticeships, FE and HE providers. NELEP and KJIA business partners work with identified KJIA students on various employability and skill initiatives.
