Purpose of the programme

At The Dean Academy, every pupil should leave confident, articulate and culturally aware being able to pursue careers they are passionate about, contribute positively to society and live happy healthy and fulfilled lives. To achieve our mission, pupils must be exposed and appreciate the opportunities that a school and university education will afford them in terms of careers and quality of life. Therefore, we need to ensure that all pupils are aware of the post-16 pathways available to them. Students will receive personalised advice and support, and to coincide we will provide experiences of college, work and university that will allow them to make informed choices about their future.

In addition, pupils are explicitly taught the character traits, habits and routines that will enable them to become successful at home, and in the workplace as well as develop a refined sense of self, both as an individual and as part of a community through trips, visits, talks and enrichment. We are committed to implementing the Gatsby benchmarks to structure our programme and measure our success.
