Career & Pathways Curriculum 2024/25

At West Kirby School, we encourage our pupils to engage in as many realistic career opportunities whilst they are with us.  Our careers and personal development programme is a crucial part of our curriculum.  Our aim is to provide our pupils with experience and knowledge to help them make well-informed decisions about their future and next steps on their career journey.

We are committed to delivering a full Careers Programme to fulfil the 2018 Government’s Careers Strategy and we work towards fulfilling all the criteria within the Gatsby Benchmarks and the Careers Development Institute Framework for Careers, Employer and Enterprise Education.   CEIAG plays a central role in our school timetable and is evident in each curriculum area. 

We have a weekly timetabled PSHE lessons throughout the full academic year. Our curriculum encompasses all the vital knowledge and skills pur pupils need for school and beyond. We aim to prepare and guide our pupils to achieve their potential by supporting their wellbeing.  By equipping pupils with the knowledge and skills they need to help them identify their future career, through positive signposting, we are strengthening pupils' desire to achieve. The impact of our careers programme can be seen through our destinations, but more importantly, we hope to motivate, engage and excite our pupils for their future.

Below is the career curriculum by year group. This will be expanded as commitments from visitors are confirmed.
