We are proud to share that Rawmarsh Ashwood Primary School has been officially awarded the Career Mark Certificate for Commitment, recognising our ongoing work to embed high-quality careers education and guidance across the school.
This achievement reflects our strategic approach to raising aspirations, ensuring that every child begins to understand the world of work and the opportunities available to them from an early age. Our careers curriculum is designed in line with the new Ofsted framework, focusing on personal development, cultural capital, and preparing pupils for their next steps in education and beyond.
What this means for our pupils:
- A progressive careers programme from EYFS to Year 6 that introduces children to different roles, sectors, and skills.
- Opportunities to meet professionals, explore a wide range of jobs, and develop aspirations for the future.
- Curriculum links that connect classroom learning to real-world pathways, helping children to see the purpose and possibilities of education.
A whole-school commitment:
This certificate celebrates the dedication of our staff and community partners who work together to broaden horizons, build ambition, and support pupils to become confident, capable, and future-ready. Our next step will be to work towards the full Career Mark accreditation, further strengthening our provision.
“We want every child at Rawmarsh Ashwood to believe they can achieve anything and dream big just like one of our Ashwood Way values. This award recognises how we are building those foundations early, helping our pupils see a future full of opportunity.”
– Miss Roper, Headteacher, Designated Safeguarding Lead, and Careers Lead
