Careers Education
Central to planning for Student Futures is our fantastic Careers Education programme.
The HASU Careers Programme is designed around the Gatsby Good Careers Guidance Benchmarks to provide outstanding personalised provision and guidance for every student.
Our Careers Motto is: Aspire. Acquire. Achieve.
Should there be a relevant link to careers in the curriculum, the HASU Careers logo will be visible in lessons. During the academic year, students will also have dedicated time to Careers in their Citizenship lessons which will feature this logo.
Our Vision & Programme
Every year group has a careers focus which is embedded through a variety of strategies and in collaboration with a wide range of external stakeholders. We are motivated to ensure students are able to make informed decisions at key transition points; to foster their passion for their favourite subjects and increase their awareness of the career pathways it can lead to as well as educating students on the variety of further learning pathways and supporting them to select the most appropriate to their needs.
We are proud to be working towards the Quality in Careers Standard which is a national accreditation of the quality of careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) provision.
Working with visitors, external agencies and our community
As an academy at the heart of its community we endeavour to have everyone on board with this journey, from staff, students, parents/carers, enterprise coordinator, local employers to further and higher education providers.
External organisations, employers, employees, Further Education and Higher Education providers are welcome to contribute towards our Career Programme. Please contact the Academy’s Careers Leader, Ms Alysia Haughton-Nicholls, Coordinator of Student Futures, via email (a.haughton-nicholls@harrissutton.org.uk) or phone (020 3962 4500).
Requests will be considered in line with our safeguarding policy.
