    Careers, Education, Information, Advice and Guidance

    At National, we believe that everything our students do during their time at the academy should support and encourage them towards their further education and career aspirations. The academy offers a range of opportunities throughout all key stages to ensure that our students are armed with information, guidance and knowledge in order to make the right decisions about their future.

    As students move through the academy, they will experience meaningful encounters with workplaces, employers and higher-education providers, as well as guidance in personal development lessons and the tutor programme.  All students receive guidance meetings with our Careers Advisor.  Find out more information by viewing our careers programme below.

    Measuring the impact of the careers programme

    There are a number of tools we use to measure and evaluate how effective our careers programme is, many of which we use on a regular basis throughout the year. We regularly complete and run a report called Compass, which allows us to measure the percentage to which we are meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks. Additionally, we routinely gather student voice, teacher voice and feedback from governors. Our programme is designed around and mapped against the Gatsby Benchmarks, so fulfilling these requirements is at the centre of our priorities.
