Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG)
We aim to give each and every pupil here at St. Patrick’s relevant, informative and tailor-made careers advice and guidance (CIAG) from internal staff, our personal Careers Connect advisor and a huge array of external agencies. The impact of our careers provision here can be seen in our extremely low NEET figures (pupils Not in Employment, Education or Training once they leave here) which are viewable under ‘Latest Destination Figures’ within the Parents tab. Careers is something which is covered whole-school; within subject lessons, during form time or in break out days or evening events. Below, there is a variety of useful information aimed at Students, Parents, Employers and Teachers. If you do not find what you are looking for then please feel free to contact Miss Mainwaring on mainwaring.h@stpatricksrchigh.co.uk for more information.

What is the Baker Clause?
The Baker Clause stipulates that schools must allow colleges and training providers access to every student in Years 8 to 13 to inform them about approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships. At St. Patrick’s, we actively encourage this and are fully compliant with the Statutory guidance for schools set by the Department for Education (DfE).
At St. Patrick’s we:
- Open our doors to other education and training providers
- Provide a range of opportunities for providers to talk to all of our pupils
- Ensure that pupils are aware of the different avenues of study beyond St. Patrick’s, including apprenticeships, T Levels and other approved technical education
- Make every effort to improve our performance against the Gatsby Benchmarks by systematically reviewing our offer at a Senior and Governing Body level
- Publish all of our policies, programs and provider access statements on our school website for pupils, parents, teachers and employers/providers to see.
