What matters is not what a programme promises—but what it changes.
Explore real implementation stories through a consistent evidence framework: school context, student need, intervention, participation, implementation and outcomes.
Every case study here follows the same six headings, so that one can be compared with another rather than admired on its own. The school's context. The need that was identified, and how. What was actually done. How many students took part. What the implementation ran into. And what changed, measured the same way at the end as at the beginning. Where a result was unclear, it is reported as unclear.
How each case is reported
- Six fixed headings, so cases can be compared.
- Participation and implementation reported, not only outcomes.
- Unclear results reported as unclear.

The evidence behind all of this — who you would speak to, and what we will not claim — sits on the Career Guidance for Schools page, where it belongs to the whole audience rather than to one service.
