Parents’ Guide

A very useful website for parents to use can be found by clicking on this link:

www.unifrog.org

You can discover which qualifications are necessary for particular careers, and also be able to search for career options based on specific subjects studied at GCSE or at A Level. You will even be able to discover labour market information about the different jobs.

Your child will become registered on the site and will be shown how to use a site at the start of Year 7. This site will allow your child to rate their interests and suggest careers for them based on their personal preferences. It also suggests which jobs should really be looked at based on which will be highest in demand in the near future. If you log on with your child you will be able to see which careers are suggested and help to guide your child to make choices about their future.

You can find out lots of helpful information in these parent guides:
