To inspire pupils’ aspirations in order to unlock their potential and develop their employability skills;

To empower pupils to challenge stereotyping and discrimination and other barriers to diversity and equality in further education and careers.
Statutory Requirements & Provider Access Policy
​The careers provision at The Westgate School is in line with the statutory guidance developed by the Department of Education, which refers to Section 42A and 45A of the Education Act 1997: as a school we provide independent careers guidance from Year 7 to Year 11. This guidance is impartial and gives information on a range of pathways and post-16 education providers, including university options, apprenticeships and further education. It is adapted to meet the needs and interests of the individual pupils.
