Claire White
Careers Advisor
At Pitcheroak School we are fortunate that we have access to a fully qualified careers advisor, Claire White. Claire works across many special schools in Worcestershire and is able to provide impartial advice and careers guidance to young people and their families. Claire has extensive knowledge and experience within her field and is available to attend EHCP annual reviews as well as other relevant meetings if requested.
Statutory guidance is set out in the Government’s careers strategy for pupils in years 8-13 and we use the Gatsby Benchmarks to develop and improve our provision.
As a school we are able to provide young people with information about local services, providers and other opportunities that help them to plan their career pathway.
Additionally, our teachers provide lessons on careers, further education and leisure opportunities as part of the curriculum.
A summary of the careers programme, including how pupils, parents/carers, teachers and employers may access information about the careers programme can be found in the strategy document below.
WCC have produced a helpful booklet to support parents and carers when considering next steps.
