    1. Give young students experience of life skills and careers.
    2. Replace all SATs with individual student profiles.
    3. At 14 let students choose a pathway which matches their aspirations.
    4. Ensure all vocational courses are taught in excellent facilities by teachers with relevant real world experience.
    5. At 16 students can specialise further or change pathways.
    6. Vocational degrees endorsed by employers.

      In Bristol we run a progarmme for all year 5 (Theatre event with employers) and year 6 (employers volunteering into school)The programme is based on research showing lack of awareness being the cause of low aspiration/attainment. We have measured success but there is still a potential void of information and activity for these children to cross at KS3 before the potential of Diplomas at KS4. Is anyone else running a Local Authority wide programme from 9 to 13?
