Our Partnerships
At Clapton Girls' Academy, students are engaged in a programme of Careers Education, Information, Advice, and Guidance (CEIAG) from Year 7 to Year 13 led by our dedicated Careers Lead. In addition to careers information embedded in the curriculum, students are given access to a wide range of initiatives and opportunities, including use of online career investigation software, mentoring programmes, trips, employer talks and enterprise activities.
We have long-term partnerships with higher education institutions and other organisations who provide additional expertise in careers and mentoring programmes for our students from their particular field of employment.

Hemisphere has been developed on the basis of extensive research and evidence of bias in UK schools, and the effect of that bias on attainment, outcomes and belonging for pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds.
Hemisphere is a brain-training platform that helps disrupt bias and improve racial literacy. The programme is the latest innovation from Rare, multi award-winning experts in race equity in education and employment. Trusted by leading educational institutions and top-tier employers alike, Hemisphere is a whole-school approach to racial literacy and belonging.
From hair to names to cultural norms, Hemisphere provides teachers, staff and governors (EYFS-KS5) with a toolkit to understand, safeguard and nourish minority ethnic students, and empowers pupils (KS3-5) in their peer-to-peer interactions. It blends government data, Rare’s unique datasets and original research, animations and interactive exercises to distil two decades of knowledge into one hour of CPD for staff, and a 30-minute session for students. Training is completed annually, with the first year focused on the experience of Black pupils, and the second on pupils of South Asian heritage.
