The careers programme at Market Field College is designed and evaluated using the Gatsby benchmarks. These eight evidence-based benchmarks set the standard for delivering high‑quality, world‑class careers education for all learners.

We track our progress against the Gatsby benchmarks using Compass+, and termly assessments are carried out by Hazel Govia to ensure our careers provision remains compliant, consistent, and ambitious for all. 

Following the publication of Good Career Guidance: The Next Ten Years, the Gatsby Benchmark framework has been updated to reflect the evolving needs of the modern workforce. These refreshed standards set a higher bar for impact and inclusivity across the country.

We are currently refining our careers offer to align with these latest national benchmarks, ensuring our students benefit from a high-impact, evidence-based programme. The evaluation below focuses specifically on Years 12, 13, and 14. At Market Field College, we are immensely proud of our progress and remain dedicated to achieving 100% compliance across all Gatsby Benchmarks.
