Careers education at BTA Hayes – Bromley Trust Academy Hayes

April 24, 2026

At Bromley Trust Academy Hayes, we are committed to ensuring that our inclusive careers programme supports all our pupils to develop their potential and raise their career aspirations. Our aim is for every pupil to feel confident about having conversations about careers and their next steps after leaving school.

London South East Colleges (LSEC) sits in the same education group (Elevare Civic Education Group) as our Multi Academy Trust (London South East Academies Trust). Therefore, our school has a strong relationship with the college, with clear progression pathways available for our learners. I have the opportunity to organise VIP tours of LSEC’s Bromley campus, enabling our pupils to walk around the college in small groups. They get to ask questions about the different pathways available and to experience the college environment during a normal working day.

In addition, I have taken our Year 11 students to an apprenticeship event at LSEC’s Orpington campus. This was a great opportunity for them to take part in interactive activities and learn more about how apprenticeships work.

Apprenticeship Week and National Careers Week earlier this term were also enjoyed by all our pupils. Posters were displayed around the school to inspire them and raise awareness about apprenticeships. During tutor time, pupils took part in activities that encouraged discussion and helped start some really positive conversations about careers and apprenticeship pathways.

Our inclusive Careers Programme also offers so much more, with industry visits, work experience, an annual in-school careers fair and strengths & skills sessions for the younger students, there is something for everybody and opportunities for everyone to aspire to!
