The Importance of Parental Support in Careers Education
As a parent/ carer, your support plays a vital role in shaping your child’s future. Engaging in careers education and encouraging aspirations helps young people develop the skills, confidence, and knowledge they need to succeed in the world of work.
By discussing career options, exploring different pathways, and encouraging ambition, you can help your child make informed decisions about their education and future employment. The job market is constantly evolving, and employers value skills such as communication, problem-solving, and adaptability. With your guidance, your child can build these essential skills and gain the motivation needed to achieve their goals.
Your involvement can make a real difference in helping them explore opportunities, set ambitions, and take the right steps toward a successful and fulfilling career.
Our school is committed to providing a strong and inclusive careers curriculum, throughout Year 7-11, that ensures every pupil has equal opportunities to explore and pursue their chosen education and career pathway. Through a structured programme of careers education, guidance, and employer engagement, we equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to make informed decisions about their future. We offer access to a wide range of resources, including career workshops, workplace experiences, and personalised guidance, ensuring that all pupils are prepared for further education, apprenticeships, or employment. By fostering ambition and providing tailored support, we help students take the right steps towards a successful and fulfilling career.
Below you will find a range of helpful resources designed to support meaningful careers conversations with your child as they plan for their future. These include a comprehensive parent guide, labour market information—with a focus on the local Lancashire area—an overview of qualification levels to help you understand how different courses compare, and current apprenticeship opportunities.
These resources are intended to equip you with clear, up-to-date information so you can confidently guide your child as they explore their next steps.
