Career Programme
The Careers Education Programme at Downs View
Downs View School and Colleges provide a relevant and engaging careers curriculum which meets the differing needs and requirements of our students. This is developed through a learner’s time at the school and college and is always supportive of their abilities, strengths and skills.
The Careers Programme is part of our broad and balanced preparation for adulthood curriculum, differentiated to meet the needs of individual students. The curriculum is delivered by teachers in years 7-17 and overseen by phase leads, subject leads and overseen by Deputy Heads.
The careers program is also supported by contact with:
- PSHE advisory team,
- Brighton and Hove supported employment team,
- National Careers Service & National Apprenticeship Service,
- Regional Disability Employment Adviser Lead at the DWP,
- Enterprise Coordinator (Brighton, Hove and Lower Mid Sussex)
