Life Ready Audit tool for Primary

This Life Ready Audit tool will help schools capture their current activity and identify gaps; importantly it will gather baseline employer engagement data. It includes a detailed breakdown of how embedding Life Ready supports aspects of the Ofsted Leadership Framework. 

 
Life Ready Journey

An example of Life Ready activity delivered from foundation level through to Key Stage 5. It could help schools to develop their plans and includes local examples of activities, references to employability skills and a suggested guideline of time for employer encounter activities. 


Sample Primary Calendar Careers and Enterprise Action Plan

A sample Primary Career Action plan which links to the Life Ready Journey document and can be developed following the completion of the Life Ready Audit tool. The plan should cover activity across year groups, sectors and curriculum areas. It should be clear on how it meets the aspirations of learners and how it will be resourced. It is recommended that the Life Ready plan feeds into the school improvement plan; and is published on the school website.
