​Dalgety Bay Primary School developed a strategic plan to support staff to create a planned approach across all stages for children to develop their interests, strengths, skills and aspirations through experiences as part of the curriculum and life beyond the school. The plan had a clear purpose to support learners to aspire to a positive destination in the future, identifying their own skill set in relation to aspects of work.

Staff have used Learning Resource 1: Introduction to the Career Education Standard in order to embed the entitlements into the learning and teaching across the school.

This approach has become a cluster model and has been recognised by and shared across Fife Council.

The school’s vision of realising their ambitions to provide all children with opportunities to connect learning​ with the world of work include the following actions:

• Teachers will provide creative opportunities to develop the skills for life in meaningful and relevant contexts within their class.
• All teacher will deliver 4D learning intentions, consistently linking each lesson to career education.
• Our weekly assemblies will regularly include information on specific careers, making children aware of the range of employment opportunities on offer.
• Children from P5 onwards will have access to the ‘My World of Work’ website where they will have the opportunity to explore different career options focusing on skills and qualifications.
• Classroom displays and planning will include links to Career Education throughout the school.
• We will continue to engage with local business partners and beyond to develop contacts and create a database of professionals prepared to support the school in developing Career Education within school.
• We will be planning and organising a Career Education Day.​
