The Gatsby Benchmarks
In 2013, the charitable foundation, Gatsby, commissioned research into pragmatic actions to improve career guidance across England’s secondary schools. As a result, 8 benchmarks were recommended which identify good practice in career guidance and as a school. The Department for Education brought these benchmarks to prominence in their careers strategy and we work towards and measure ourselves against them.We work with the Thames Valley Careers and Enterprise Company and are pleased that they agree that we are fully meeting benchmarks 2, 5 and 8 at 100%, and we continue to work hard to fully meet the remaining benchmarks going forward.
