Gatsby Benchmarks
The Gatsby Benchmarks are a framework of eight guidelines that define the best careers provision in schools and colleges. We have adopted the Gatsby framework and use it to ensure good career guidance have built into the Academy’s Careers Strategy based on the eight Benchmarks below.
Our careers provision measures it’s impact and outcomes by meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks set out by the Department for Education along with destinations.
Our strategy outlines our whole school approach to delivering Careers guidance to all of our learners throughout their journey through education.
Careers activities will take place across Y7 through to Y13.
