27 Date updated: 25.08.2023 next review: 24.09.2024 Careers The development of vocational knowledge and skills is embedded throughout the curriculum offer and commences from the point our young people arrive at Overley Hall School. This vocational emphasis grows sequentially as they progress across key stages. Part of our offer includes a Careers Programme which has been written for individual class groups rather than just year groups. This programme links directly to an individual group’s aptitude and stage of learning with respect to age appropriate resources. Each programme is made up of activities linked to the Gatsby Benchmarks. The Careers programme can be found on the Overley Hall website. We strongly believe in preparing our students for life beyond Overley Hall School and our commitment is demonstrated in the Provider Access Policy Statement which can be found on the Overley Hall website. We closely adhere to the statutory guidance set out by the DFE and Independent School Standards. Overley Hall provides independent and impartial advice and support for our students, their parents and other key stakeholders.
