Careers Guidance

What is CEIAG?

CEIAG (Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance) provides students with knowledge and understanding about their next steps after Springwest. We aim to build our students' ambition and confidence to enable them to make informed choices about their future education and employment.

Our weekly PSHE lessons, alongside our Character Education Curriculum at KS3, ensure that our students develop holistically. Therefore, they leave us with the employability and study skills needed to be successful in the world of work. 

Our CEIAG lead is:  Ms Dunn
