Careers Provision Information
Chelmer Valley High School has high-quality careers advice and guidance, to support our cohort. This is developed throughout a student’s time at the school and is always supportive of their aspirations, strengths and skills. The support is aimed at destinations associated with both academic and vocational pathways and provides opportunities for students to discover the full range of options available to them. The programme is designed to meet the Gatsby benchmarks and conforms to statutory requirements.
The careers provision is supported through the Personal Development lessons, tutor time and a range of extra-curricular activities, including: being a founding school for the Chelmsford Skills Festival, an in-school careers fair, various educational visits which link into careers, Post 16 Next Steps workshops, Destinations Day, and independent careers advice provided by Mrs Pembroke of Directions.
