We are supported by Beckie Gillham-Hardy, who is our independent Regional Futures Advisor for Papworth Hall School. Beckie is not based at the school permanently but conducts regular visits and can be contacted by phone (Mobile: 07876833082) and email Beckie.ghardy@ofgl.co.uk. Beckie’s role is to provide impartial careers and preparation for adulthood advice and guidance to all pupils in the school, and this will be tailored to both their needs and the pathway which they are on and their aspirations. The impartial element of her role is vital, as her main goal is to ensure the pupils’ wants and needs are communicated and heard from their point of view. She will also support the school to ensure the careers service is the best it can be for our students, including the sourcing of work experience and other experience-based opportunities tailored to individual students’ aspirations
We provide a relevant and engaging careers curriculum which meets the differing needs and requirements of our pupils. Our aim is for all pupils to have meaningful experiences linked to their aspirations, interests, and developmental stage.
We provide pupils with the knowledge, information, and skills to make informed choices about suitable “next steps”.
