Provider Access

SGS Berkeley Green UTC Provider Access Policy

This policy statement sets out the school’s arrangements for managing the access of providers to pupils at the school, for the purpose of giving them information about the provider’s education or training offer. This complies with the school’s legal obligations under Section 42B of the Education Act 1997.

Pupil entitlement

All pupils in years 8-13 are entitled:

• to find out about technical education qualifications and apprenticeships opportunities, as part
  of a careers programme which provides information on the full range of education and
  training options available at each transition point.
• to hear from a range of local providers about the opportunities they offer, including technical
  education and apprenticeships – through options events, assemblies and group discussions
  and taster events.
• to understand how to make applications for the full range of academic and technical courses.

Procedure

A provider wishing to request access should contact the Careers Lead by emailing: office@berkeleygreenutc.org.uk

Opportunities for access

A number of events, integrated into the school careers programme, will offer providers an opportunity to come into school to speak to pupils and/or their parents/carers.
