How The Gilberd School measures and assesses the impact of the Careers programme
Management
A member of the Senior Leadership Team has strategic responsibility for CEIAG working in liaison with the Career Leader. The Career Leader writes the schemes of work and oversees the structure of delivery of CEIAG at this school, ensuring members of staff have access to relevant training where needed.
Monitoring, review and evaluation
The School monitors delivery in lessons by observations and learning walks, and student evaluation and feedback to inform future planning. Each year’s Department Improvement Plan is constructed to reflect the objectives outlined in the School Improvement Plan, and develop CEIAG provision further. An annual CEIAG survey is used to evaluate the quality of provision from a student perspective. Each student has a CEIAG folio/Record of achievement to track exposure to a range of events, contacts with employers and experiences.
Three areas of quality assurance that we take into consideration:
1) The quality of independent careers providers
2) The quality of careers professionals working in the school.
3) The date of the school’s next review of the information published
CEIAG Community

Benchmarks
What are the benchmarks?
The Gatsby Benchmarks are a framework of 8 guidelines that define excellent career guidance, which the Department of Education (DfE) expects schools and colleges to meet by the end of 2020. OFSTED will also want to see how the Raising Aspirations team and subjects are putting careers into the curriculum. Click on a number to read more about that benchmark!
