The Gatsby Benchmarks 

The Gatsby Benchmarks are a set of 8 guidelines that define the best careers provision in schools and colleges. The government has directed schools to work towards achieving 100% against the benchmarks. We have support from an Enterprise Coordinator from Bridge GM at GMCA (Greater Manchester Combined Authority)and an Enterprise Advisor.

Enterprise Coordinator (SEND) – Sally Cheshire

In order to achieve the Gatsby Benchmarks we have a strategic and sustainable careers programme that all form teachers and subject teachers work towards.
