Careers Programme

Our transition strategy is designed to meet the needs of our learners at Keyham Lodge School by providing a purposeful and bespoke journey through KS4 to ensure a successful transition into their next phase of education.

We aim to create a positive culture and reduce barriers by instilling confidence and self-motivation in all Keyham students, leading to high aspirations that are delivered through a range of media.

With this support in place, students will be able to actively decide on their career pathway in the knowledge that the experiences they have gained will underpin their choices.

The Careers Programme is reviewed every June. The Gatsby Benchmarks are reviewed each term. Work Experience is evaluated after each Work Experience week.
