SHAPE
Age 15-16
What We Do
Students sharpen decision-making, resilience, and communication as they shape informed, aspirational plans for post-16 pathways. They learn to evaluate options critically, understand the impact of post-16 choices, and begin to align their academic and personal development more closely with future goals. This stage supports students to build a personal roadmap that reflects who they are and where they want to go.
Ready to transform their futures ...
... and meet your statutory careers duties?
The updated 2025 Gatsby Benchmarks demand more than compliance. They require schools to deliver a careers and employability programme that drives real impact for students.
Our Shape stage helps you embed purposeful careers learning at a pivotal point, aligning with Gatsby requirements while creating measurable outcomes. Students develop confidence in decision-making, understand the consequences of post-16 choices, and start building a roadmap that connects education to meaningful careers or entrepreneurship.
Move from ticking boxes to transforming futures.
