Unifrog essentials
Some of the most important things about
our work with UK schools and colleges
Meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks
We will be your trusted partner in meeting all 8 of the Gatsby Benchmarks.
We have carefully developed the platform itself to help - for example by adding extra regional and national LMI into the job profiles in our Careers Library.
We also bring to bear lessons learned from working with 3,000+ schools and colleges to help consultatively. For example when you first start to plan how you'll use the platform, and then in our ongoing strategic meetings with you - we shape our advice and training to support you to meet particular Benchmarks.

"Since introducing Unifrog a few years ago as part of our CEIAG programme, student engagement across all year groups has soared. We have used the platform in PSHE, utilised many of the fantastic blended learning plans in careers lessons and been able."
Esme Major, Head of Careers
Newcastle Under Lyme School
"Unifrog is a fantastic platform which supports the development and tracking of young people’s skills and DYW experiences while also linking them to the Career Education Standard. For S5/6 offers information and support for a positive destination no matter whether the young person’s pathway is into the workplace, Further or Higher Education. The Unifrog team are extremely helpful and I would highly recommend this wonderful resource."
Ros Ranger, Deputy Head
Balerno High School
"Unifrog is absolutely crucial in the delivery of careers education at Trent College. It is easy to use and navigate for pupils and staff alike and our pupils would be hugely disadvantaged without it. We now use Unifrog with all year groups, from 7-13 and I am evangelical about it, both the platform and the support provided are fabulous!"
Fiona Starbuck, Careers Leader
Trent College
"It’s our mission to ensure that all of our students, no matter what their background, have access to the best careers advice - and Unifrog is fundamental in enabling us to achieve this goal."
Jo Wood, Head of Student Development and Careers Programme Leader
Birkenhead Sixth Form College
"Unifrog is the perfect careers platform for our KS3 and KS4 students. The easily accessible resources and tools enable them to make informed choices regarding their next steps."
Rosemary Atkinson, Head of Careers
Da Vinci Academy
"Our careers and university processes were quite good to start with, and Unifrog slotted in nicely with those, without demanding a complete overhaul of what we were already doing."
Alex Handy, Assistant Head
Caludon Castle
"The platform acts as a means of recording achievements and tracking students’ engagement in extra-curricular activities, as well as a means of adding activities we run in school using the Interactions tool. The opportunity for them to record and reflect is invaluable."
Catherine Jacks, Head of Careers
Clayesmore School
"Overall my favourite aspect of the platform is that it centralises a previously disparate process. I can log in and see what any student is doing at any moment, and message them in real time, and I can do the same with staff."
Rebecca Brattle, Head of Sixth Form
Robert Napier Academy
"From a strategic point of view, it allows us to sit back and know exactly what staff and students are doing and how they’re engaging with our stable careers programme."
Lucy Hemsley, Deputy Head of Sixth Form
Cheltenham Bournside School
"Unifrog is brilliant! It enables pupils (and parents) across our community to consider different career options and make informed study choices. It also helps them to develop vital employability skills to prepare them for life in the working world. It is fun and easy to use with a wealth of information all stored in one place. I recommend it to everyone."
Caroline King, Careers and External Relations Officer
The King's School Macclesfield
"''The way the Unifrog team led the training sessions was exemplary: it was concise and practical. They were very keen to make the whole process of getting us trained and ready to embed the platform in our school as painless, clear and as fluent as possible, and that was really appreciated."
Nick Russell, Head of Sixth Form
Epsom College
"Unifrog has been one of the best things we’ve invested in during my time as director of Post-16. It has had a massive impact on student motivation, on opening doors and making students aware of where they can go and raising their aspirations."
Chris Wilson, Director of Post-16
Outwood Grange
"Unifrog has given our students much more insight into their options, not limiting them to just a university search. The platform has definitely given students right across the ability spectrum raised aspirations and increased confidence in their choices."
Emma Shoreland, Director of Teaching & Learning Key Stage 5
St. Gregory’s Catholic School
"Both my students and colleagues have found the Careers Library invaluable when researching careers of interest. Whenever a student asks about a career I don’t know much about, my go to is always “check Unifrog!” and it hasn’t let me down yet."
Evelyn Burke, Careers Leader
Lincroft Academy
"Ofsted asked us quite a few questions about how compliant our work experience programme is…What’s beautiful about the Unifrog Placements tool is you can literally see for every student where they’ve gone on Placement and all the details, even down to the employer’s insurance documents. Ofsted were really happy I was able to produce that at the drop-of-a-hat."
