CEIAG at St John Fisher

St John Fisher is committed to providing a comprehensive and fully inclusive careers education for pupils from Years 7 to 11, with a view to inspire our pupils to develop an understanding of the different career pathways and opportunities open to them.
 
Within our CEIAG programme, we work closely with our Enterprise Coordinator to further develop our whole school approach to Careers education. Mr. Maw (Deputy Headteacher) and our Link Governor have responsibilities for CEIAG developments, along with two impartial and independent Careers Guidance Advisers.
 
Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) is regarded as an integral part of the holistic development of students at St John Fisher. We strongly believe in educating individual pupils of all abilities, inspiring them to reach their full potential, so that every student can enjoy a high quality of life and contribute to the community.
 
If students, parents, teachers or employers have any questions or queries, Mr Hynes can be contacted any time via email a.hynes@sjf.wigan.sch.uk.
