Student Support
ICT HelpdeskSt Mary’s Catholic Academy has a statutory duty to provide impartial and objective Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) in Years 7 to 11. CEIAG at St Mary’s is seen as an integral part of the holistic curriculum, which is available for every student and this is evident in the Personal Social and Health Education Curriculum (PSHE)
CEIAG at St Mary’s Catholic Academy is impartial and it enables students to explore potential pathways through the work of our Independent Career Advisor Mrs Angela Callagher. The work Mrs Callagher carries out with our students is personalised and appropriate. St Mary’s offers a full education entitlement to the age of 18years but also allows all providers an equal opportunity to provide current information to the students.
