Careers Education Information, Advice and Guidance (CIAG)

We Dream

Our vision at Oak Wood School is to armour our young people with the knowledge and vision to dream about their future. We do this by providing our pupils with a planned programme of experiences that will support and enable them choose pathways at that are suited to them. This ensures they are equipped to manage their careers choices, sustain employment, and achieve personal and economic wellbeing to be successful adults that support a community. Our aim is to ensure that our young people are provided with the means and opportunity to engage with industry and employers to understand their future job and career potential.
