Central to the Government’s Careers Strategy are the ‘Gatsby Benchmarks’. In 2013, The Gatsby Foundation commissioned Sir John Holman to investigate what good career guidance in England should look like. This resulted in the creation of 8 Benchmarks for schools to work towards, in order to plan and deliver an effective Careers Programme. These benchmarks have been widely adopted as an indication of quality careers guidance and schools have a statutory duty to meet them.
The eight Gatsby Benchmarks are:
Careers Education, Advice, Education and Guidance is a statutory responsibility of all schools. The latest Government Careers Strategy: available here >>
Pupils are entitled to Careers Education Information Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) which meets professional standards of practice and is both personalised and impartial. It is integrated into pupils’ experience of the whole curriculum and based on a partnership with pupils and their parents or carers. The programme is structured to meet the Gatsby Benchmarks of good Careers education, raise aspirations, challenge stereotyping and promote equality and diversity.
The careers programme is designed to meet the needs of the pupils at Reepham High School to ensure progression through activities that are appropriate to pupils’ stages of career learning, planning and development. The policy and programme can be viewed here >>
We always like to hear how our past students are getting on and would love to see them back at Reepham High School, delivering talks and sharing their experiences with our pupils.
If you would like to share your career journey and experiences please get in touch with Mrs Edgill – eedgill@reephamhigh.org.uk

If you water acrylic paint down with water mixed with a bit of detergent or hair conditioner you can pour it instead of brushing it on, or buy “fluid acrylics” which are already pouring consistency, and get pouring! It takes a bit of practice. https://t.co/gwHpTOGxs6 Read more >>
