All young people need a planned programme of activities to help them choose 14-19 pathways that are right for them and to be able to manage their careers and sustain employability throughout their lives. Mount Carmel believes it has a responsibility to provide careers education in Years 7 -11 and to give students access to careers information and impartial guidance.** The purpose of the Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) Programme is to provide a curriculum which will encourage the development of self-confidence, positive attitudes, determination and other qualities which will enable pupils to achieve satisfaction in the world beyond secondary school. Through this programme the pupils will have opportunities to develop decision making skills with regard to interests, subjects and jobs, and will also be provided with opportunities to develop an awareness of the “World of Work.” It is intended that throughout the programme pupils will be provided with information and practical experiences which will raise their aspirations, challenge stereotypes, increase their cultural capital, and ultimately help them to make positive decisions for their future as well as encouraging a culture of lifetime learning. Mount Carmel is committed to providing a planned programme of careers education and information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) for all students in Years 7-11, in partnership with the Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC) and our school Enterprise Advisor. Mount Carmel follows the statutory guidance from the Department for Education (2025) which recommends that schools work toward the Gatsby Foundation’s Benchmarks for Good Careers Guidance. ***October 2026 - Review date October 2027*** Refer to the CEIAG Policy below for full information. ### Careers CEIAG Policy Updated on 17/09/2026 459 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/files/documents/Careers_Information_-_CEIAG_2026-27(1).pdf) Gatsby Benchmark Evaluation Updated on 06/10/2026 170 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/files/documents/Compass-_CompassEvaluation_Results_Report_06102026.pdf) Provider Access Report - Careers Updated on 06/10/2026 112 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/files/documents/Provider_Access_Policy(4).pdf) Future U Privacy Notice Updated on 16/06/2020 432 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/files/documents/Future_U_Privacy_Notice_-_Final.pdf) 2026-27 - this is the most up to date document ### Related News 13 March 2026 ### [Youth Parliament voting](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/2026-03-13-youth-parliament-voting) 9 March 2026 ### [National Careers Week 2026](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/2026-03-09-national-careers-week-2026) 13 November 2025 ### [Mock Interview Day 2025](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/2025-11-13-mock-interview-day-2025) [View All News](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/careers-guidance-ceiag) ### Parent & Pupils - [A-Z Essential Parent/Carer Information](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/parent-pupil-handbook) - [6 to 7 transition](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/6-to-7-transition) - [Absence Request](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/absence-request) - [Careers (Raising Aspirations)](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/careers-guidance-ceiag) - [Edulink](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/edulink) - [Exam Information](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/exam-information) - [Free School Meals](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/free-school-meals) - [Homework](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/homework) - [Letters Home](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/letters-home) - [Ofsted Parent View](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/ofsted-parent-view) - [Online Payments](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/parent-mail) - [Online Safety](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/online-safety) - [Pastoral Care](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/pastoral-care) - [Pastoral Helplines](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/pastoral-helplines) - [Term Dates](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/termdates) - [Transport](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/transport) - [Twelve Star Diner](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/twelve-star-diner) - [Uniform](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/uniform) ![Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/logo/Mount-carmel-LOGO_(3).png) #### Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School Wordsworth Rd Accrington Lancashire BB5 0LU 01254 233458 #### Useful Links - [6 to 7 transition](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/6-to-7-transition) - [Admissions](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information/admissions) - [Contact us](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/contact) - Department pages - [Diocese Inspections](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information/diocese-inspection-reports) - [Exam Information](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/parent-pupils/exam-information) - [Facility lettings](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/school-life/lettings) #### Useful links - [Letters home](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/news/tag/letters-home) - [Ofsted Inspections](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information/inspection-reports) - [Safeguarding](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information/safeguarding) - [Staff](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/about-us/staff) - [Statutory Information](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/information) - [Term Dates](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/termdates) - [Vacancies](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/job-vacancies) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/MountCarmelHigh/) - [X](https://twitter.com/mountcarmelhigh?lang=en) © Copyright 2018–2026 Mount Carmel Roman Catholic High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) [![](https://files.schudio.com/mountcarmelhigh/images/splash/CURRENT_VACANCIES(3).jpg)](https://www.mountcarmelhigh.co.uk/job-vacancies)
