Careers

 

Rainham School for Girls represents a culture of high aspiration, high expectation and success.

Careers education, information, advice and guidance is recognised as playing an important role in motivating our students, promoting equality of opportunity and maximising their academic and personal achievements. We provide a planned programme of careers education for all students in Years 7-13, to prepare them for the opportunities and challenges of adult and working life. Our school is committed to ensuring there is an opportunity for a range of education and training providers to access students including 50 regular attendees to our Careers Faire and World of Work Sessions. This is all for the purpose of informing them about approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships. In addition, we endeavour to ensure that all students are aware of all routes to higher skills and are able to access information on technical options and apprenticeships (The Department of Education, July 2021: “Baker Clause”: supporting students to understand the full range of education and training options, and the Provider Access Legislation, January 2023)

Careers Advice

We are fully aware of the responsibility to set students on the path that will secure the best outcome which will enable them to progress in education and work and give employers the highly skilled people they need. That means acting impartially, in line with the statutory duty, and not showing bias towards any route, be that academic or technical. This is available on site from our trained careers advisor in sessions booked for students or by students  as well as on open evening, parents’ evenings and other events. 

To book an appointment, please contact Mrs K Moon, kathy.moon@tkat.org   01634 362746 or for a face to face appointment with an external careers advisor, please inform Mrs Moon who will be able to book this for any student in Year 10, 11 12 or 13.
