The school careers strategy and plan can be found attached below. They include details of how the school plans to measure the impact of individual elements of the careers programme. The overall effectiveness of the careers programme is measured quantitatively through study of destinations data and qualitatively through discussions with staff and students held by the careers leader and careers advisor as well as through student surveys. 

Please note the Greenford High School Careers plan is currently under review. For more information on how you can become involved in careers at Greenford High School, please contact the school careers leader.
