Careers Information for Parents and Carers

Information for Parents and Carers

We work closely with parents/carers to support their child/children to make informed career choices. Parents and carers are encouraged to attend the careers events, information evenings and options evenings.

Parents/carers are always welcome to contact the careers team using our contact form to seek advice and ask any questions you might have regarding careers pathways.

We provide careers information via our weekly newsletter and encourage parents to explore the opportunities available and to have conversation with their children.

If you are interested in linking with us for any careers opportunitiues please get in touch with Sian Gunton who is our Careers Lead.
