The Lenham School is focused on providing students with all the information they need to make informed decisions about their future; while focusing on developing employability and raising aspirations. The Lenham School takes a unique approach to its Careers Programme with a heavy focus on working alongside employers, who can talk about their work and opportunities and help develop students’ transferable employability skills; as well as speak to students about careers in their field.
Our intention is to form strong links with local businesses and employers to provide students with a range of experiences, host guest speakers and offer career pathway knowledge. To deliver outstanding impartial Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance that includes information on all future pathway options. We work closely with our partner Universities, colleges, apprenticeship providers and other trusted agencies to ensure all students have a personalised pathway of career knowledge and experiences.
We want to provide all students with a Careers programme through; the school curriculum, careers meetings, experiences of employers and workplaces, events and trips, in line with statutory guidance. It is vital to support all students through key transition stages with information made readily available to them and their parents and carers in a variety of formats ensuring it is accessible to all. We use the Gatsby Benchmarks as a framework to ensure we are providing the best possible Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance by mapping our provision and measuring the impact of our work.
The Lenham School achieved the Quality in Careers Standard Award in January 2026. The assessors noted that The Lenham School 'fully meets the Gatsby Benchmarks Standards for Career Education'
