Careers
We know that first-class Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance will prepare our students to aim for and gain access to the very best apprenticeships, college courses, university education and employment that is available by helping them to make impartial, informed, balanced and appropriate decisions about many key areas of their future development, progression and career pathways. CEIAG at Holyhead School is completely impartial and is delivered in an objective and balanced manner by all staff so that each student receives the opportunity to explore potential pathways. CEIAG is delivered across the curriculum and through our bespoke Career Days. Holyhead believes that working with outside agencies is an invaluable part of the CEIAG curriculum and will, therefore, offer all students the chance to meet with employers and other opportunity providers either in school or on visits.
