“A good education and equality of opportunity help to give our young people important choices when starting out on their career paths.  It is our responsibility as educators to ensure that school leavers are confident and well informed.  It is vital we recognise and nurture talent in our children and young people.

“In order to help our children and young people develop the skills, attitudes and understanding to become global citizens we must ensure they receive the best possible careers advice.  We need to ensure students are aware of all the choices open to them.  This is why quality careers advice is vital.  It is essential that they keep their options open for as long as possible. The revised curriculum and entitlement framework will offer students choices that may not have been available to you and I.  Schools are now able to offer a large number of courses that help them to broaden their experience and open up new opportunities.”Extract from Employment and skills Minister speaking at recent conference November 2011

At Plume School we have an ongoing commitment to the very best Information, Advice and Guidance for all students. At all transition and option- choice points students and parents/carers are well supported by staff by means of, for example, information evenings/assemblies/subject guidance talks and option processes explained.

An integral part of this process is PlumeCareers which offers and coordinates a wide variety of information and activities and includes 1-1 personal careers guidance  through our Directions Advisor. Further information on Student Shared Drive

We also play a key part as a member of  Plume Business Engagement Group which seeks to get local businesses working in partnership with us for the future benefit of all.
