Year 7 Future Skills Questionnaire
During the Autumn 2 half-term, Year 7 pupils will complete the Future Skills Questionnaire.
The Future Skills Questionnaire (FSQ) is a set of questions specifically designed for young people in schools and colleges to help them think about their skills, strengths, and what they might like to do in the future.
FSQ is a key feature of our school's careers programme. We will analyse learner responses to evaluate our careers provision, plan future careers activities, and identify learners who may need additional support.
The questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. There are up to three sections of the questionnaire that cover the following areas:
- Careers knowledge and skills
- Essential skills for life and work
- Career planning
Completing FSQ should be an engaging and insightful activity for learners that will encourage them to continue thinking about their future choices and next steps after school or college.
The FSQ is completed online via the digital product Compass+. This short 2-minute video has been designed to encourage pupils to meaningfully complete the FSQ. The video explains the purpose and value of FSQ, how easy it is to complete, and how pupil responses will be used.
All pupil data is processed in compliance with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). More information about how Compass+ collects, uses, and stores personal data can be found on the CEC Privacy Notice.
