The school will monitor its success in supporting students to take up education or training which offers good long-term prospects. One way of doing this is through use of destination measures data. The school closely monitors the number of students who are recorded as not in education, employment or training (NEET) after they have left school.
Formal monitoring of the impact of CIEAG and provider access will be carried out through:
The school’s CIEAG checklist
Careers guidance interview records
Informal feedback from students, parents, teachers and employers through random sampling
Student questionnaires for individual guidance interviews and group work
Lesson observations
Sustained destinations, including longer term destination measures for up to five years after completing key stage 4
Regular review meetings with external partners and evaluation of the impact of partnership agreements
