In line with the requirements and expectations as laid out by the Department for Education for Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (2018), Lynn Grove Academy provides the below programme of careers, employability and enterprise education from Year 7 to 11. The activities are all linked to the Gatsby Benchmarks and the Careers and Development Institute’s framework.
To support your child in finding out about their future options there are a number of online careers platforms that we use in school that you can access at home too.
We also recommend the below websites for getting reliable and accurate information about careers, post-16 education and advice and guidance at moments of choice. Click on the logos to access the sites.
As listed in our programme above we rely on our business and voluntary sectors to support our careers, employability and enterprise programme. Should you or your work place wish to offer support to any of the events outlined in the curriculum, please get in touch with Heidi Cullingham, we welcome your support to help widen our pupils’ knowledge of the local labour market.
Information and feedback from pupils, parents, staff and our external partners about events and opportunities for careers, employability and enterprise are through website. Pupils are encouraged to keep records of how they are developing their personal and employability skills using the Start platform.
Information regarding destination trends of our pupils is available on request from our Careers Leader. The information is reviewed at the end of each academic year and the impact of the programme is measured by the Trust in terms of pupils’ destinations. The school monitors its provision through analysis of pupils’ responses and satisfaction, Compass + and our destination data.
Calling all pupils from the Lynn Grove Academy Class of 2024.
It is time to collect your GCSE Certificates. You will need these certificates in the future so be sure to come and collect them and keep them safe. You will be surprised how often you will be asked for them during your working life and it is a complicated and expensive process to get replacements.
Certificates will be available to collect on
Tuesday 3 December 15:30 – 17:00
If you cannot make these times, please make an appointment to collect them after this time by phoning Lynn Grove Academy.
Certificates cannot be given to anyone other than the person named on the certificate unless you have provided written authorisation for a responsible adult to collect on your behalf. They will need photo id to collect. In line with JCQ (Joint Council for Qualifications) rules, we can only keep certificates for one year after which they will be disposed of and you will need to approach exam boards for copies.
We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday 3 December.
