Careers Education and Guidance
City Academy Norwich recognises careers education, information advice and guidance play in preparing students for future pathways and the responsibilities of adult and working life.
The CEIAG programme at City Academy Norwich provides pupils with a wide range of experiences to help them progress effectively through their education and onto successful careers. It is integrated into students’ experience of the whole curriculum. Based on a partnership with students and their parents and carers, the programme is organised to raise aspirations, challenge stereotyping, and promote equality and diversity.
Gatsby Benchmark
Using the Gatsby benchmark, our aim is to provide information, advice and guidance (IAG) which is impartial, unbiased and focused on the individual needs of our students. Developing the knowledge and skills our students need to make successful choices, manage transition between key stages and between education and realise their full potential.

Careers Entitlement
All students are entitled to and will receive impartial and independent careers education advice and guidance which will inform their longer -term career goal. We will do this by:
- Helping students learn to understand themselves and develop their capabilities.
- Raise students’ self-esteem and confidence which will allow them to realise their true potential.
- Develop an understanding of the range of opportunities available at each transitional stage including technical education routes and Apprenticeships.
- Supporting inclusion, challenge stereotyping and promoting equality of opportunities.
- Enabling students to explore careers through employer encounters, online resources and careers programme
- Help students manage their career planning by giving them the tools which will enable them to make decisions based on interests and abilities and labour market information.
- To raise aspiration and prevent disengagement from the learning process and students becoming NEET (not in Employment, Education or Training).
- To provide the opportunity for students to learn about STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Maths) related careers. To have encounters with employers and workplaces related to STEM; to encourage proactive links with curriculum subjects.
