Quality in Careers Standard Award

We have been successful in gaining the full award for the Quality in Careers Standard with working towards fully meeting  the Gatsby Benchmarks. This is a national award that recognises schools who provide students with careers support of the highest quality. 

To achieve this national award we had a rigorous assessment day where everyone involved in the careers programme was assessed against a national standard. The award recognises that we are educating, inspiring and preparing our young people to make decisions about their next steps and that our careers programme is having an impact on student’s future destinations.
