Coppice and the Gatsby Benchmarks – what does it mean?

The Gatsby Benchmarks are a key part of the Government’s careers strategy for schools.  We are very proud to have received acknowledgement for achieving 100% of the benchmark’s criteria, which was recognised by the local Careers & Enterprise Company.

The Gatsby Benchmarks have a key role in:

• Raising young people’s aspirations and promoting access to all career pathways
• Enabling all young people to develop the skills and outlook they need to achieve career wellbeing, including adaptability and resilience
• Underpinning the Department for Education guidance to schools on meeting their statutory responsibility for careers guidance.
