Careers Information for Parents
How Parents can Support
Parents are welcome to attend careers appointments by prior arrangement, or can contact the careers team by email on [email protected].
Our in-house careers provision is enhanced by strong links with a wide range of external partners, including employers, apprenticeship and training providers, and representatives from Further and Higher Education. This ensures students gain valuable insight into the full range of opportunities available beyond school.
Free independent advice is also available from the National Careers Service helpline, which is available daily from 8am until 10pm on 0800 100 900.
Our careers library provides access to a wide range of up-to-date resources, including university prospectuses, information on a broad spectrum of career pathways, Further and Higher Education courses, apprenticeships, and literature from professional bodies.
In addition, we subscribe to a range of careers software platforms, enabling students to explore career ideas, research pathways, and access reliable, impartial information to support informed decision-making about their future.
