The school will make a suitable space available for discussions between the provider and students, as appropriate to the activity. The school will also make available ICT and other specialist equipment to support provider presentations. This will all be discussed and agreed in advance of the visit with the Careers Lead or a member of their team. 

Providers are welcome to leave a copy of their prospectus or other relevant course literature with the Careers Lead so that they can be displayed in the Careers Section of the school library. 

The below information sets out the school’s arrangements for managing the access of providers to pupils at the school for the purpose of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997.

The below information sets out the school’s arrangements for managing the access of providers to pupils at the school for the purpose of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997, including the later amendment introduced as The Baker Clause, which stipulates that schools must allow colleges and training providers access to every student in Years 8 to 11 to inform them about approved technical education qualifications and apprenticeships.

The updated Provider Access Legislation (PAL) comes into place in January 2023 and specifies schools must provide at least six encounters for all their students:  

• Two encounters for pupils during the ‘first key phase’ (Year 8 or 9) that are mandatory for all pupils to attend
• Two encounters for pupils during the ‘second key phase’ (Year 10 or 11) that are mandatory for all pupils to attend

We are pleased to confirm that we are already complying with providing these encounters for our students.
