PARENT AREA

“80.75% of students say their parents help them to make key careers decisions“

Being a parent is a juggling act and knowing everything about careers on top of everything else? Don’t panic, there’s some great websites out there that provide all of the answers.

A careers conversation with your child can make a big difference and sharing your own story can help. You possibly have some contacts who could offer a work experience, or provide some feedback on a CV for example. Use the resources at your fingertips to get started and contact our Careers Leader Mrs Pipe for further information.
