Careers Education Platform for Secondary Schools
Everything a secondary school needs to deliver outstanding careers education, track Gatsby Benchmarks automatically, and generate Ofsted-ready evidence — without the admin.
Chapter Schools is built for secondary school Careers Leaders who need to manage their entire careers programme in one place. From Year 7 through Year 13, Chapter tracks every student's career journey, maps all activity to the Gatsby Benchmarks, and generates the evidence Ofsted inspectors look for.
Common challenges for secondary schools — and how Chapter solves them
Manual Gatsby Benchmark tracking takes hours
Chapter automatically maps every event, lesson, guidance session, and employer encounter to the relevant benchmarks in real time. Your compliance dashboard updates instantly.
Proving impact to Ofsted and SLT
Generate a complete Ofsted evidence pack in one click — timestamped records across all 8 benchmarks, student participation data, and destinations evidence.
Keeping parents engaged
Automated parent digest emails keep families informed about careers activities, with no extra work for the Careers Leader.
Identifying students who need more support
Student profiles flag gaps — pupils who haven't had a guidance session, students from disadvantaged groups with low engagement, or year groups missing key benchmark activities.
Frequently asked questions
Is Chapter Schools suitable for all secondary school sizes?
Yes. Chapter Schools works for schools of all sizes — from small 11–16 schools to large 11–18 secondaries with sixth forms. Pricing is per school, not per student, so there's no cost penalty for larger cohorts. The platform scales with your school.
How long does it take to set up Chapter Schools in a secondary school?
Most schools are up and running within a few days. Setup involves importing your student list, configuring your year groups, and inviting your team. Chapter integrates with common MIS systems to pull student data automatically. Your implementation support is included in all plans.
How does Chapter Schools help secondary schools meet the Gatsby Benchmarks?
Chapter automatically maps every activity your school runs — events, lessons, guidance sessions, employer encounters, parent communications, and work experience — to the relevant Gatsby Benchmarks. Your compliance dashboard shows real-time coverage across all 8 benchmarks, and you can export a complete evidence pack for Ofsted or SLT at any time.
