How We Measure the Impact of Our Careers Programme
We keep accurate records of the destinations of all our Year 11, 12 and 13 leavers and work to ensure that we have no NEET students.
We also evaluate the activities we provide to inform the impact of the provision and use this to further improve the careers programme at the school. The Gatsby Benchmark evaluation tool is used, and continually updated, to measure progress and impact.
Ours careers programme at King Edward VI Lordswood School for Girls is reviewed annually, the next review is due in June 2023

The school will also make available AV and other specialist equipment to support provider presentations.

We always enjoy working with the students and staff from King Edward VI Lordswood School for Girls. We’re consistently impressed with the student’s attitude and enthusiasm for learning, especially on our Forward Thinking programme which we have been collaborating on together for 10 years.
