Our Rationale

The Government’s Careers Strategy (December 2017) and Statutory Guidance, Careers guidance and access for education (October 2018) set out a long-term plan to build a world-class career system that will help young people and adults choose the career that is right for them. This statutory guidance has been updated to expand on the aims set out in the strategy to make sure that all young people in secondary school get a programme of advice and guidance that is stable, structured and delivered by individuals with the right skills and experience.

At Harrogate High School use the Gatsby Charitable Foundation’s Benchmarks to develop and improve our careers provision and ensure that we fulfill legal duties to ensure we provide independent careers guidance and provide opportunities to a range of providers to inform pupils about technical education qualifications or apprenticeships.
