The Limes College is working towards the Quality in Careers Standard

Welcome to Careers Education

At The Limes College, we are fully committed to supporting every student prepare for their future. Our aim is to ensure that our students have all the information and skills to be able to make ambitious and informed choices about their future.

Our Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) programme is designed to support students to:

• Understand their strengths and interests
• Explore different career and education pathways
• Make informed and ambitious decisions about their next steps
• Ensure all students experience an insight into the world of work

Our programme follows national guidance, including statutory careers guidance and the Gatsby Benchmarks, alongside PALS legislation, ensuring students receive high-quality, impartial advice. All students have access to independent careers guidance from qualified careers advisors. This takes the form of 1 to 1 and small group sessions as well as assemblies and stand-alone events and enrichment activities.

We host several events during the school year within the school. These include Mock Interview Day with Year 11, university visits, work experience, talks and encounters throughout the school year. Students also have opportunities to experience the workplace from Year 7 onwards.

Our students get regular visits from educational establishments, giving them information about the wide range of future options. For more details, please refer to our Provider Access Policy.  

Our careers offer is evaluated on a termly basis against the Gatsby Benchmarks using the Compass Plus evaluation tool and termly meeting with the South London Partnership – Careers Hub. All students complete the future skills questionnaire annually; from this we can develop our careers curriculum to meet the individualised needs of our students.

We are always looking for help with our careers programme and if you or someone you know is able to offer support then please contact:
