Future Pathways Hillview School Careers Teams Impact Statement
For our Future Pathway program to be successful we must measure and assess the impact of the careers programme on students at Hillview School for Girls.
We believe it is very important to assess the impact of our careers programme on our students. We do this in a number a of ways.
- We identify and analyse the destinations of our Year 11 and 13 students taking into account their prior attainment.
- For Year 11 students, we record pathways including:
- Level 2 courses
- Level 2 apprenticeships
- Level 3 courses
- Level 3 apprenticeships
- The proportion of students going onto Level 3 courses or apprenticeships is tracked over time, taking into account changes in the attainment level of year groups at the end of Key Stage 2.
- For Year 13 students we identify and analyse whether students:
- Go onto higher education and the range of courses being studied and the universities/colleges being attended
- Go onto an apprenticeship and whether it is at Intermediate, Advanced or Higher level
We track students for three years from the end of Year 11, identifying and reviewing where students leave or change courses/apprenticeships.
We are very keen to get the views of students on the Careers, Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) they received during their five or seven years at Hillview. We will be using 3 new system in 2022-2023 to collect data 1st we will ask all learners from yr7 – 13 to complete the Future Skills Questionnaire in the Autumn term 2023 as this is linked to Compass+ and will support our final review of the year.
We will also ask all Year 11 and 13 students to complete an on-line survey to find out their views on individual elements of the CEIAG programme and their overall assessment of the programme and support they received. In addition, our new Enterprise Advisers (business volunteers who support the school develop its careers provision), will arrange a meet from across yr8- 13 in the Winter/Spring term to find out more about what they liked and disliked about the careers programme and ways they believe it can be improved.
We value the views of parents on how well we have helped them to support their child or children make rational informed career decisions. This is done using an on-line survey. Business volunteers are asked for their feedback on each individual careers events that they take part in, such as Careers Fairs, mock interviews and employer talks. In addition, the school’s Enterprise Advisers evaluate the careers programme from a business viewpoint and collate the views of other business volunteers.
The Future Pathways team then uses this data to inform not only the programme for the following year but the strategic plan and priorities we must have to best support our learners.
