Postcode look up tool

This tool will help you to quickly identify target postcode learners within your learner cohort and collate activity registers for engagement.

Progression framework 

Our progression framework provides a set of outcomes and accompanying resources to support student aspiration and progression between Years 9-13. The key objective is to ensure that students are able to make informed and appropriate decisions relating to their post-16 and post-18 choices.

This progression framework is designed to ensure that Higher Education Champions (HECs) working as part of the “Take Your Place” programme are supported with a consistent set of outcomes linked, where appropriate, to the Gatsby Foundation’s eight benchmarks for Good Career Guidance. A progressive approach is used to help structure provision and ensure consistent development of Information, Advice and Guidance activities.
