Careers

At Catchgate we are taking part in the Primary Benchmarks Career Pilot where we can focus on raising children’s career aspirations. We want children to have a range of opportunities with different employers, workplaces, higher and further education providers and real-life career links to the curriculum. We offer a range of opportunities which will enable all of our children to move into Secondary Education with high expectations for their career pathways, which we share with parents throughout their time with us.

The Bin Men came to visit us

Take a look at some ideas of careers learning which will take part each year. There will also be lots of opportunities for you to visit lots of different places of work too!

EYFS	Careers learning is linked closely to topics we deliver as well as children’s interests. We ensure that children have interactions with a range of careers throughout their time in Early Years, both in their local community and wider world.
