The careers education gap
Every careers leader knows these pain points. Chapter Schools was built to solve them.
You’re tracking Gatsby on spreadsheets
Colour-coded cells, manual evidence logs, and a prayer that nothing gets lost before the next review. You know there’s a better way.
You can’t see what students are actually doing
Students might be using career apps, attending events, or exploring pathways - but that data never reaches you. You’re planning blind.
Ofsted asks and you’re scrambling
Deep dive day arrives and you’re pulling evidence from five different systems, three spreadsheets, and a folder of photos. Sound about right?
Early pilot results
600 students, 9 schools & colleges
We ran Chapter with real cohorts before selling it. Students told us whether it beat what they already had - and whether it left them with something to actually do next.
