By having a structured programme of events, monitoring and evaluation allows us to ensure the quality of our provision and we then use this information to inform future decision making.
Monitoring activities adopted by Bedlington Academy are:
- Learning walks
- Lesson observations
- Questionnaires – with students, staff, parents & carers and external agencies
- Student voice
- Whole school careers tracking using Unifrog
- Work scrutiny
- Planning scrutiny
Evaluation activities are used to measure the impact of our careers programme and inform the planning of future events. Evaluation activities adopted by Bedlington Academy are:
- Analysis of the whole school tracking system on Unifrog
- Feedback from the personal guidance interviews
- Student voice
- Lesson observations
- Questionnaires – with students, staff, parents & carers and external agencies
- Destination data
Each academic year the Careers Leader will write an Action Plan which will be reviewed annually and the provision on offer to students will be audited using the Compass Tool.
