The Children’s Hospital School aim to build a world class careers system that will help young people choose the career that is right for them. To achieve this aim, our careers strategy sets out to develop and improve their careers provision for the children we teach reflecting on the Gatsby Benchmarks. CHS uses Compass+ as an online self-evaluation tool for school to assess how our careers support compares against the Gatsby Benchmarks and the national average. CHS recognise the importance of having careers advice and preparing all students for their next steps. To support students and help them make informed choices about their career paths CHS have a Service Level Agreement with Connexions.
