A brief overview for 2017-18
All students from years 8-13 register with a careers programme called ‘Start’. This can be accessed from home, and I would encourage you to look at this together with your child. In years 10 and 11 students are encouraged to register with the National Careers Service website and Barclays Lifeskills.com
