Please see our Careers & IAG Policy, together with our Compass Report.

These give a full outline of our comprehensive careers programme throughout the academy and measurement of its impact.

Skills Builder Accelerator

As part of the Skills Builder Accelerator programme, we have access to their home learning activities. It is free to use and has lots of resources and activities to help build employability skills.

Year 7 students will be practising these in form time and throughout their curriculum. The activities aim to help students practise these essential skills independently.

However, the resources aren’t just for Year 7 and can be used for any student in any year group who wishes to improve the essential skills needed for employment and future steps.

Just set yourself up and login and explore the range of activities you can use.

My Week of Work

Using the Gatsby Benchmarks to provide high quality Careers Education.

The Gatsby Benchmarks are a framework of eight guidelines about what makes the best careers provision in schools and colleges. At Morecambe Bay Academy we have built our careers education and guidance strategy around them.

Our Careers curriculum provides pupils at different stages in their school career with relevant information to help them make informed choices about options, careers, colleges, apprenticeships, university, and the world of work. This includes up to date labour market information.

The school has a careers enterprise co-ordinator from the company Capgemini to ensure careers provision is up to date for employers and advice and guidance is impartial and informative for all. We also benefit from a full time Careers Advisor.
