Our Careers Programme
To ensure Holme Grange students receive outstanding careers advice and support tailored to their interests, we partner with Morrisby, an award-winning careers platform, and Changing Education for work experience.
Our careers provision aligns with the Gatsby Benchmarks, as recommended in the Department for Education’s (DfE) Careers Strategy (December 2017) and the Statutory Guidance for Careers (January 2018).
The 8 Gatsby Benchmarks
- A Stable Careers Programme
- Learning from Career and Labour Market Information (LMI)
- Addressing the Needs of Each Student
- Linking Curriculum Learning to Careers
- Encounters with Employers and Employees
- Experiences of the Workplace
- Encounters with Further and Higher Education
- Personal Guidance
Our Commitment
Holme Grange strives to equip all students with the knowledge, skills and experiences needed to make informed decisions about their future.
At key points in their education – such as transitioning into Year 7, choosing options in Year 9 and planning post-16 pathways in Year 11 – we provide structured careers guidance to support their choices.
We believe that high-quality careers education fosters motivation to learn and leads to greater academic success.
