Aligned with the Gatsby Benchmarks
In-school careers events and ongoing careers information that contribute to four benchmarks and support your statutory careers provision.
A national framework, supported by six years of delivery.
The Gatsby Benchmarks define what good careers guidance looks like in UK schools. The SACP contributes to four of them through the Roadshow and the careers information that follows it.
Clear careers framework
The benchmarks give careers leads a recognised national structure. We describe our contribution in the same terms.
Documentation ready
A benchmark summary written for school records, so each visit can be logged without extra work.
Leadership conversations
Plain terms for explaining the programme’s careers value to SLT and governors.
Honest alignment
We claim four benchmarks, not all eight, and we say where we support rather than deliver.
Four benchmarks.
One programme.
Expand each benchmark to see how the SACP contributes and what your school can record as evidence.
Students and parents need clear, current information about future study options and the labour market.
Schools receive our digital careers information every three months, covering roles and routes across aerospace, space and aviation, until students turn 18.
Dated updates each quarter that can be logged in your careers programme records, alongside our benchmark summary.
Curriculum subjects should be linked to careers, so students see where their learning leads.
The Roadshow’s technology breakouts (flight simulators, drone simulators, VR and MR design) show students where science, maths, computing and design lead.
A record of the visit and its breakout activities, connecting curriculum subjects to industry technology on your own site.
Every student should have meaningful encounters with employers and people who work in industry.
Every Roadshow includes three in-person presentations from our own industry professionals. One or two Supporting Companies, all working in aerospace, space and aviation, also regularly present.
The visit record, including which Supporting Companies presented. One Roadshow gives every student present a direct employer encounter.
Students should understand the full range of routes after school, including apprenticeships, colleges and universities.
Our careers information sets out apprenticeship, college and degree routes, and the SACP Pathfinder helps students explore which might suit them.
A record of the route information students received. Direct encounters with colleges and universities come from your wider provision.
One programme. Four benchmarks supported.
A single Roadshow visit, followed by careers information every three months, contributes to Benchmarks 2, 4 and 5, and supports progress towards Benchmark 7. Our benchmark summary sets this out for school records.
