Careers Information, Education, Advice & Guidance play a vital role in your daughter’s education; helping her to discover her interests and gain a clearer understanding of her strengths and aspirations. Through the Careers Programme, she will investigate options in further, higher education and training and use that learning to make informed decisions about her future.

We use a Careers platform called Unifrog to deliver Careers Education. When each year group receives a login parents will also receive a login so that you can discuss different options with your daughter.

Across all key stages, there are opportunities to explore career and education pathways both inside and outside of school and to interact with visiting speakers such as universities, apprenticeship providers, employers and alumni.
