At Torquay Academy we believe that Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) is an essential part of your child’s education. Throughout years 7-13 we support our students to understand the world of work, build their employability skills and choose their post 16 and post 18 pathways.

Mission Statement & Programme

Our ambition

Our goal is to help our students realise a future they have not yet imagined, to encourage them to believe in themselves and to help them develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to achieve success. We believe that we should help our students create their futures today and every day.

Why?

We believe that we can all be more than we think we are
We believe that having a goal and knowing ourselves can lead us to excel
We believe that self-confidence & ambition comes through knowledge, experience and success
We believe that the qualifications we study and the choices we make only have meaning if they help us get to the next stage of our lives
