Objectives
• Provide some tips on collecting destinations data• Demonstrate accountability and improvement through publishing pupil
destinations data• Identify how to effectively monitor and measure valuable careers and
employment guidance through data• Develop effective self-evaluation to illustrate improvement at your next
inspection• How to evaluate the performance of a contractor providing services and activities
I’m very pragmatic – I try and do things in a practical way – once set up this system will save you time - HONESTLY
Who are you accountable to?
•Governors
•Parents•Ofsted•Pupils•SENCO•SLT
What will these groups be looking for in Destination Data?•Proof of solid framework for CEIAG•Their child will be supported•That your offer is independent• Info, guidance, help, support•Input into SEND planning•Proof of efficacy

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?

At the end of KS3 do an interests survey
From this start to build your framework of activities
Set up a system for recording who goes to each session
Set up a survey monkey type exercise to get feedback on each session
Before you begin…

Strategy for collection of Destinations Data for self evaluation
YOU WILL NEED ADMINISTRATIVE HELP• Step 1 – engage with you school data manager • Step 2 - get your head of year 11 to record all references he/she writes• Step 3 - Get personal email & mobile numbers of year 11 pupils before
leaving.• Step 4 - Results day • Step 5 – Ask providers to inform you of any ex pupils enrolled with them• Step 6 - Presentation evening• Step 7 – email/alumni contact

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.
Self Evaluation for Inspection
Strengths - What do you do well?
Weakness -What don’t you do that you should do?
Opportunities -What could you do better?
Threats - What don’t you do that you’d like to do?
SWOT Analysis
Action Plan
• Start as soon as year 11 go on exam leave• Review your data – how well did you meet last years targets• What problems were encountered• What will you need in terms of finance, time or resources to
deliver improved service next year.• Use to report back to Governors and in line management
meetings.
