In order to ensure our students enjoy high quality careers guidance and experiences, we are embedding the eight Gatsby Benchmarks throughout our careers and employability programme. The Gatsby benchmark is a report about career guidance in English secondary schools and how it could be improved. Research was carried out in six countries, including five independent schools in England and from these judgements, eight benchmarks were formed. These benchmarks identify different dimensions of good career guidance.
