Reasons not to collect your data

It’s a data collection exercise – thus its somebody else’s job

It’s hard work

You’ll never get it perfect

Reasons to collect your own data

Great basis for an alumni network

Being able to demonstrate the positive effects of careers work

Gives you the ability to link activities to pupil interests

Will give you insight into pupils decision making process.

Will impress SLT

Do you need to collect your own destination data?

From this start to build your framework of activities

Set up a system for recording who goes to each session

What to do with the data

• Straightforward analysis will be done for DFE• You can liaise with your data manager to produce data sets for

your most effective workshops, pathways etc. • Liaise with SLT to identify micro populations and/or priorities• Report back to your governors each year.• Update staff on a yearly basis – builds support networks• Keep reports ready for Ofsted• Use a short report to keep parents informed – perhaps in

newsletter

Monitoring

• Your interests survey will identify pupils who have no ideas as yet and allow you to target them with interventions

• Top 10 areas of interest can be prioritised for activity planning• Share info with your careers adviser along with predicted grades• Form tutors can use information to inform tutor activity• HOY can use interests to build engagement• HODs can personalise targets more effectively• PP manager can personalise provision for qualifying pupils• Review monthly or half termly for pupils who are slipping through

gaps or not engaging.
