Future Ready

Teddington School strives to raise students’ aspirations through its comprehensive 'Future Ready' programme, so they may ignite passions, discover talents, and feel empowered to explore infinite opportunities.

ENRICHMENT 1
Consequently, students’ confidence towards life beyond school increases and they feel equipped to pursue appropriate ambitions. Through careers learning and exposure to meaningful encounters with employers and training providers, students gain real-life experiences that enhance employability and increase awareness of life beyond the sphere of secondary education.



We have a dedicated Lead in CEIAG* and work closely with Innervate our Careers Advisors who support students throughout their school journey with tasks such as applications for college and apprenticeships, CV writing, interview skills, career planning and signposting where needed. Support is particularly important during key transition stages; while selecting options in Year 9 where students may need help with decision making, and whilst in Year 11, the transition to post-16 option in further education or apprenticeships. To maintain quality and ensure compliance with the latest statutory advice, the careers programme will be reviewed annually, and impact will be measured by conducting student surveys.

Families

We understand how difficult it can be to navigate through the large amount of information concerning careers.  

Choices available to your child are likely to be very different from those you had at school. However, parental guidance significantly influences decisions made by our students, so it is imperative you have access to current information. Our programme sets out the kind of support we offer to help widen students’ horizons and assist them in making informed decisions. Look at Teddington’s CEIAG information on colleges, apprenticeships and more.
