Spring term: What Next Survey and Potential NEET
Last updated:What Next survey for Year 11s in mainstream schools
We provide schools with a link to our secure ‘What Next’ survey in the Spring term. Your Year 11 students should complete this survey online. This is besides any questionnaires they complete for school purposes. We issue an article in the School Bulletin with the survey link and details in February.
We recommend that students complete the survey in school. We will provide you with a list of those who are outstanding before the deadline.
Following the ‘What Next’ survey, we track your Year 11 leavers in the autumn to find out their new activity. We may employ a contractor to do this for us. More information can be found in the survey. This is the ‘Activity Survey’ we complete for the Department of Education.
The ‘What Next’ survey asks each student if they are happy for us to share their new Year 12 activity with you. We will share this with you the following February if we have their permission. This will help you collect destination data for each student so that you can meet 'Gatsby Benchmark 3'.
We send the ‘Activity Survey’ results out via the secure AnyComms Plus website. AnyComms Plus will send an email to your school office when the results are ready to download.
Identify potential NEET students
We ask schools if they have Year 11s who are unlikely to be in education, employment or training next year. You should complete our ‘Potential NEET form’ to tell us about them. Please ask your school administrator to return the form to us. They should use the secure AnyComms Plus website for this. The file type to choose is ‘September Guarantee’.
We issue an article in the School Bulletin with the form and details in February. This is along with information about the What Next survey.
