Parent Information
As a parent, you are incredibly influential when it comes to the decisions your child makes in all areas of his life and that is especially true when it comes to their education and careers. We know that the choices, which are open to your child today, may be very different from when you were in their position and you may feel as if you’re unsure about what advice to offer. We want to try and make it as easy as possible for you to talk to your child about their options confidently and know that the information you have is as accurate and as up to date as possible.
Please find some links below and read through the careers section of our website, if there are still questions that you have in order to support your child’s decisions, please contact our careers lead.
