Gatsby Benchmarks
Our careers programme is designed with regard to the Gatsby Benchmarks for good careers guidance.
Careers education
Ready for what comes next
Impartial careers education helps young people plan routes into college, apprenticeships, training, employment and continued sport pathways.
Programme
Careers education in practice
Employer engagement
Encounters with employers and workplaces help young people see real options. Calendar detail is published as confirmed.
Apprenticeships
Learners explore apprenticeship routes and what successful applications need.
Enterprise
Enterprise projects build initiative, teamwork and an understanding of work and money.
Work experience
Where appropriate and safe, tasters or placements support pathway decisions.
Destination planning
Key Adults and careers guidance sit inside personal plans from early in the placement, including post-16 routes such as Elite Coaching Academy where a football-and-education sixth form pathway is right.
Recognised achievement
Qualifications young people can be proud of
Careers education sits alongside vocational awards, leadership certificates and personal development programmes.
Young people leave with evidence of what they have achieved, not just promises about what might come next.
Provider access
Education and training providers
Further education, technical education and apprenticeship providers may request access to talk to students in Years 8 to 11 about the courses and opportunities they offer.
Email admin@evolution-sportsgroup.com with the subject line Provider access request.

We aim to respond within ten working days.
Opportunities are offered at induction and review points, destinations and pathways events, and Key Stage 4 post-16 planning windows. Full arrangements are set out in the Careers Education Policy.
