Parents & Carers' Page
Key information
This website is one of the ways we get key information to our students, and the people in their lives who are supporting them. Information that impacts career choices ranges from facts about university funding, to the changes in Apprenticeship job markets, to knowing how to contact a Careers Adviser for 1:1 help, and lots more in between!
​
You are invited to browse the website too, via the menu on the left, to access all the information. We make updates and changes throughout the year, especially to the EVENTS page. On this dedicated page, we will be posting useful articles aimed specifically at parents and carers, made by a range of organisations. Scroll down to see what's new!
Your queries
If you have a query about your child/young person's needs at college, please always contact their Personal Tutor. If the question is career related, they will be able to refer to our team where needed.
We also encourage the student themselves to be pro active, and develop the confidence to seek out what they need. You can find out how our students can contact us on the What We Do page.
