Provider Access
The Schools Provider Access Policy sets out the arrangements for managing the access of providers to students at the school for the purposes of giving information to pupils in Years 8 to 13 about approved technical qualifications and apprenticeships.
Pupil entitlement At The Westminster School
All pupils in years 8-13 are entitled;
- to find out about technical education qualifications and apprenticeships opportunities, as part of our 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.
How?
- Careers Fairs (in school or in the community)
- Visits to the workplace (preferably for organisations that offer inclusive apprenticeships)
- Employer visits to school which include information on apprenticeships
- Careers Assemblies
- Virtual presentations
- Breakfast events
- Speed networking conferences
- Focussed careers advice and mentoring
Management of provider access requests
A number of events, integrated into the school careers programme, will offer providers an opportunity to come into school to speak to pupils and/or their parents/carers. A provider wishing to request access should contact The Careers/Futures team in school to discuss a visit or through our enquiry form.
