Greater Manchester Higher can support schools to work towards Ofsted objectives and the Department for Education’s expectations for Careers Guidance and provider access to schools.
Our activity can contribute towards multiple Gatsby Benchmarks as well as Ofsted objectives for supporting learners to make ‘choices about the next stage of their education (…) from impartial careers advice and guidance’ and ensuring learners are ‘prepared for the next stage in their education, training or employment.’
Activities such as our 1:2:1 HE guidance, which can contribute to benchmarks 3, 7, 8 and our industry insight events which can contribute to 2, 4, 5, 7.

The government has identified electoral wards where higher education (HE) participation is lower than expected based on KS4 attainment and this is their definition of disadvantaged groups.
Our work must focus on providing intensive activities with learners from these wards, therefore 2/3rds of learners on any intervention must be from the target wards (with the exception of activity delivered to a whole year group or activity for targeted learners). Our Postcode tool will help you determine which of your pupils are from our target wards.
