Careers Road Map at Sanders Draper
CAREERS Roadmap.pdfAt Sanders Draper we recognise the importance of working with students to ensure they are provided with a CEIAG programme which will equip them with the skills required to follow their chosen career pathway.

Promote employability skills
Give an understanding of education, training, employment and apprenticeship routes
Explore individual post 16 options
Provide opportunities for day trips to colleges & universities

To all employers and businesses in Havering and the surrounding areas, Sanders Draper would be keen to make career links between our school and your business. If you would be interested in providing careers support to our students please contact Mrs M Shread.
Provider Access Policy
This section statement sets out the school’s arrangements for managing the access of providers to pupils at the school for the purpose of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997. All students in years 8-13 are entitled:
to find out about technical education qualifications and apprenticeships opportunities, as part of a careers programme which provides information on the full range of education and training options available at each transition point;
to hear from a range of local providers about the opportunities they offer, including technical education and apprenticeships – through options events, assemblies and group discussions and taster events;
to understand how to make applications for the full range of academic and technical courses.
Opportunities for access can come through a number of events, integrated into the school careers programme, that offer providers an opportunity to come into school to speak to pupils and/or their parents/carers. Opportunities beyond dovetailing our published programme are also welcome.
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 other specialist equipment to support provider presentations. This will all be discussed and agreed in advance of the visit with the Careers Lead or a member of their team. Providers are welcome to leave a copy of their prospectus or other relevant course literature at the school.
Any provider, and any individual, wishing to discuss further CEIAG should contact: mshread@sandersschool.org.uk or ring 01708443068
