Do you need to collect your own destination data?
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

Before you begin…
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
This is the scaffolding of your system

your most effective workshops, pathways etc.
• Liaise with SLT to identify micro populations and/or priorities
• Report back to your governors each year.

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.
