Analysing outcomes is the best way of evaluating the effectiveness of how well you have prepared young people for progression beyond the age of 16. 

You can do this by:

  • Collecting feedback from pupils and their parents about the extent to which the support they received met their needs, and using this information to plan future activity.
  • Talking to colleges about how well prepared your pupils were for post-16 learning, and if there is more that you could do to prepare them for college life.
  • Using data on post-16 offer made, and destinations, to benchmark performance against that of neighbouring schools, and others with a similar profile.
  • Sharing experiences and best practice with neighbouring schools and agree what more can be done to support young people at risk.
