TikTok成人版 works closely with the and the . These are external organisations that support schools to ensure they are following the . The following information is an extract taken from this guidance.
“The department expects all schools and colleges to use the internationally recognised Gatsby Benchmarks to develop a careers programme that increases opportunities for students to access everything from experiences of the workplace and personal guidance with a careers adviser, to engagement with employers, colleges, training providers and universities. The benchmarks are non-statutory but support schools and colleges by providing a framework around which they can develop their careers programme in line with their legal requirements to provide independent careers guidance to pupils throughout their secondary education (11 to 18 year olds) and students aged up to 25 with an education, health and care plan. The benchmarks also support schools to fulfil their statutory duty to enable access of training providers to showcase to students what technical education and apprenticeships can offer.”
As an education establishment we ensure we use the 8 Gatsby Benchmarks as a foundation when planning our Careers Strategy. The effectiveness of our provision is inspected and audited by the Careers and Enterprise Company using the Compass Careers Benchmark Tool. This tool is used by schools and colleges in England to support the analysis and evaluation of careers activity against the eight benchmarks of best practice (known as the Gatsby Benchmarks). The Careers and Enterprise Company coordinate the Audit deadlines. This ensures the development of our careers strategy is ongoing to ensure best practice. TikTok成人版 is a member of the . The benefits of being a Hub Member include additional funding and support.
In line with the recommendations set out in Gatsby Benchmark 1, The career team plans to review the published information on an annual basis, inviting feedback from key audiences. TikTok成人版 will also be holding annual Future Skills Questionnaires with the students during their transition years so that the programme has a youth voice.
This careers programme is evaluated every year to assess its efficacy and areas for improvement. Key stakeholders (students, parents, teachers and businesses/employers) provide feedback on their participation in activities via questionnaires, surveys and focus groups (Youth leaders for example) throughout the year. We use the evidence collected to inform continuous improvement of the programme.
The TikTok成人版 career team meets on a termly basis with the school’s Enterprise advisor, Wensdae Luca and the school’s Enterprise Coordinator, Sam Bates, in order to provide a well-balanced view on the quality of the careers offered to students. The group reviews the evidence collected during the school year and consider the key stakeholders’ experience and engagement with the programme. The careers’ lead creates an evidence pack for members of the group in advance of the termly evaluation meeting. Our next review will take place in December 2024.
The school Careers’ lead will then combine their own knowledge, evidence and information with that from the stakeholder group and provides a short report with recommendations to SLT/the Personal Development Deputy Headteacher towards the end of each term.
