Evaluation Tool

Try out Compass, a free self-evaluation tool for schools and sixth forms in England that gives you an immediate confidential read-out of how your schools career guidance performs against the eight benchmarks. The tool was built by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Careers and Enterprise Company to help you celebrate successes and focus resources on the areas of your careers programme that need the most development.

Teach First, NAHT, Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and teachers across the UK have helped to design the tool and will continue to advise on its development.

Receive your report

After completing the questions, you will receive a confidential report, indicating how matched your school’s career guidance is to the Gatsby Benchmarks. This report will highlight your successes and areas for improvement, helping you to discuss careers provision with parents, colleagues, governors, and Ofsted.
