The School will assess the impact of its careers programmes on students by completing an annual student survey and analysing destinations data in line with activities that they have taken part in at school. In addition, the views of students and parents will be surveyed after key events e.g. Parents evenings, careers weeks and term reviews.
Holy Trinity Catholic School believes in giving FE, HE and training providers the opportunity to talk to pupils at the school.
