Careers Provision
Enrich Academy is dedicated to raising aspirations and inspiring students to achieve their full potential. We are committed to our statutory duty to provide students with impartial Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) to students in Years 10 and 11 to ensure that every student is able to access an appropriate Post 16 pathway when they leave at the end of Year 11.
Tracking and Evaluation Arrangements
Enrich Academy uses the Compass Tool to track its progress against the Gatsby Benchmarks. The Careers Leader has responsibility for completing the Compass Tool on a termly basis and uses this data to identify areas for further development. Each year the school receives a report which outlines the Post 16 destinations for the most recent Year 11 leavers. This data is used to assess the impact and evaluate the effectiveness of the careers programme.
1:1 Careers Advisor
Lance Depass is the Careers Adviser from Prospects who works with students at Enrich Academy.
Prospects offer independent and impartial advice and guidance service for young people. They work in partnership with schools and other organisations to and help young people apply for and access the most appropriate Post 16 provision to suit their individual needs.
Support offered by the Careers Adviser includes:
- Discussing plans for after Year 11
- Arranging visits to local colleges, employers and training providers to explore different options

All students have the opportunity to meet with the Careers Advisor for individual careers interviews. These take place throughout the year, and students may go as many times as required.
