What is CEIAG?

CEIAG (Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance) is designed to prepare students for life in modern Britain by providing the knowledge, understanding, confidence and skills that they need to make informed choices and plans for their future learning and career.

Stockport Academy is committed to providing good quality, impartial information, advice and guidance to every student throughout their school career. We ensure that students come in to contact with employers to encourage students to aspire, make good choices and understand what they need to do to reach and succeed in the careers to which they aspire to.

Our CEIAG programme provides activities appropriate to age and need; it aims to provide students with the best possible foundation on which to base not only their post-16 choices following Year 11, but also their options choices for GCSE subjects in Year 9.

Our CEIAG Lead is Mrs Thandi, who can be contacted via email here.

If you are a local employer:

Stockport Academy encourages all students to assess and develop their independence in evaluating potential careers.  We run a range of off-timetable days where we encourage employers to come in and speak to students about the opportunities within their work sector.  If you would like to contribute to our programme of preparation for working life please contact Jasspinder Thandi, CEIAG Co-ordinator.
