Halesbury School welcomes contributions from employers, further education, training providers, voluntary organisations and employers in order to broaden and enrich our careers curriculum and provide diverse learning experiences for our pupils.

Rationale for Provider Access

In line with current statutory guidance (Jan 23), we believe that all students should have the opportunity to meet with a wide range of providers and hear about the opportunities and pathways that they offer. However, given the varied, and often complex, needs of our young people, it is important to ensure that these experiences are carried out in conjunction with partners who can provide relevant and meaningful experiences that are indicative of likely future pathways e.g. further education, specialist college, social care etc. Furthermore, we are also aware that, for some of our learners, the prospect of discussing transition can be distressing, therefore, we adopt a person-centred approach to provider access, whereby learners are supported to explore the potential pathways that are most relevant and meaningful to them, at the time that is right for them.

Provider Access in Key Stage 3, 4 and 5

In each key stage, we will be looking to engage with partners and providers who will be able to support our young people with developing positive aspirations, an increased awareness of potential future pathways and provide the information needed to facilitate informed decision-making through relevant and meaningful experiences:

Key Stage 3

Key Focus:

Introduction to work-based learning

Potential Partners*:

Huggle Pets
DPD
Midland Metro Alliance
KA Equestrian Centre

Key Stage 4

Key Focus:

Exploration of Post 16 options and preparation for transition

Potential Partners*:

Halesowen College
Dudley College
Sandwell College
Kidderminster College
Juniper Training
Nova Training
Specialist Colleges

Key Stage 5

Key Focus:

Exploration of Post 19 options and preparation for transition

Potential Partners*:

Specialist Colleges
Activity Providers
Social Care Settings

*Whilst some of these providers would not be recognised under current Provider Access Legislation, they are indicative of the likely destinations of our young people and so must be included, and prioritised, in order to support informed decision-making and promote empowerment.

Getting Involved

We already have a number of events and activities planned throughout the school year which can be seen in our careers programme. However, we are always looking to increase the opportunities that our students have, therefore, we are happy to discuss any additional activities, visits or events that you may be able to provide.
