Careers
Supporting students to be successful in the modern world.
A young person’s career reflects the progress they make in learning and work. It is part of the vision and mission of Hayle Academy that all learners have a planned programme of activities to help them choose 14 – 19 pathways that are right for them and to be able to manage their careers, sustain employment or start and develop their own businesses in order to achieve personal and economic wellbeing throughout their lives.
The governing body and staff at Hayle Academy recognise the need for students to acquire high value achievements and the resilience and life skills that provide a platform for future success and happiness. In order to facilitate this, we have a responsibility to ensure all pupils at the school are provided with independent careers guidance from years 7 – 11 and the school has a clear commitment to the delivery of a stable framework for Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance.
“The best way to predict the future is to create it.” —Abraham Lincoln

Personalised Careers Learning and Pathways
Xello is an online careers education program your child is using in school to help them prepare for the future. It offers a variety of activities that are suitable for children from 11 to 18 years old. These activities help students build self-knowledge, explore their options, and create achievable plans. They develop the 21st-century skills needed to thrive in the world of work.
It’s important for students to take ownership in planning for their future. But the caring adults in their life play an essential supporting role. Use your Xello Family account to see your child’s work in future-readiness. Use this opportunity to discuss and support their future goals and plans.
Details of how to access your account will be coming soon.

Independent Careers Guidance
All students have access to independent careers guidance with our qualified Careers and Aspirations Co-Ordinator, Helen Ireland. During Year 10, students will have group sessions and in Year 11 they will all receive individual guidance interviews. If any student (Year 7 – 11) would like advice and guidance outside of these sessions, this can easily be arranged by contacting Helen using the details below, or speaking to Miss Wilson.
