At Bramfield House School we recognise and celebrate that all of our young people are different and as a result their education and career pathways will be planned on an individualised basis.
Careers education for pupils at Bramfield House School will be relevant, specific, planned, and delivered carefully to meet their individual needs.
We use the Gatsby Charitable Foundation’s Benchmarks and the Career Development Institute framework to develop and improve our careers provision and to ensure we fulfil our legal duties as well as raise the aspirations of our young people. For further information, please refer to our Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance policy, here.

Bramfield House School and the Baker Claus
Introduced in 2018, the Baker Clause was authored by the former education secretary, Lord Kenneth Baker. The guidance stipulates that schools must allow colleges and training providers to access every student in years 8-13 to discuss non-academic routes that are available to them.
Updated in July 2021, the government’s Statutory guidance for schools and guidance sets out the following, ‘Schools and colleges have a responsibility to set students on the path that will secure the best outcome which will enable them to progress in education and work and give employers the highly skilled people they need.’
So, what does this mean in real terms?
Bramfield House School act impartially and do not show any bias towards any route, be that academic or technical. We promote a full range of options for all our pupils.
