Student Entitlement

A number of events, integrated into the school careers programme, will offer providers an
opportunity to come into school to speak to pupils and/or their parents/carers. This will be
listed via the school website. Out with this plan, we are always open to suggestions, so
please do contact should any suitable opportunity arise. Premises and facilities The school
will make the main hall, classrooms or private meeting rooms available for discussions
between the provider and students, as appropriate to the activity. The school will also make
available AV and other specialist equipment to support provider presentations. This will all
be discussed and agreed in advance of the visit with the Careers Leader or a member of
their team. Providers are welcome to leave a copy of their prospectus or other relevant
course literature at the Careers Resource Centre, which is managed by the school librarian.
The Resource Centre is available to all students at lunch and break times.
