Impact Statement

The impact of the school’s Careers and IAG support is measured on an annual basis via two methods:

  1. The destinations data survey from the DFE and the zero returns of NEET (Not in education, employment of training) numbers
  2. An annual survey of year 11 students that asks their views and feedback that can then shape future actions

The information on this page is reviews annually, every July.
