Our impact
We measure our impact in two ways: how much we help schools and colleges improve their offer and processes using student data, and how much those changes improve student outcomes.

Impact for students
Aspirations exists to improve outcomes for young people—so while we call this our ‘indirect’ impact, at the end of the day it is all that really matters to both us and our partner schools and colleges.
Aside from the obvious benefits of having their own personal development plans, we have seen:
-
Increased participation in school/college activities
-
Increased engagement more generally (demonstrated by drops in absenteeism and disciplinary events, pre-Covid)
-
Improved destinations profiles for sixth form college leavers (more university places, more Russell Group places, more STEM subjects studied, more variety in subjects)
-
Increased self-confidence and optimism about the future
