This blog is designed to keep you up-to-date with Careers Education, Information and Guidance (CEIAG) available locally, nationally and through the school. I’ll be posting information about employment and training opportunities available locally as well as details of open days and useful websites. The world of education, employment and training opportunities is changing rapidly so keep checking in for the latest information.

Need a 'Plan C'?



If your GCSE or 'A' level results are not what you expected, here are some options to consider:
  • Talk to staff on Results Day:  Mr DeKort and Miss McCrorie are experts in everything to do with the Sixth Form and the UCAS process.  Mr DeKort will also be in school between 10.00am and 1.00pm on Friday 17th  to give advice and help with problems.
  • Jackie Duffy, our Youth Connexions PA, will also be available in school on Results Days.  Either speak to her there or contact her directly  ( details posted elsewhere in this blog )
  • Talk to Mrs Colls ( the Exams Officer ) if you want to request a re-mark or a paper to be returned.  There is a form to fill in for this, available in school on Results Days.
  • Phone the university or college you have applied to.  Try to speak to Admissions but remember, they will  be very busy!
  • Go on-line to ChannelMogo for advice and information.  There's a special 1:1 web-chat service from 10.00am to midday on Friday 17th for 'A' levels and Friday 24th for GCSE related queries.
  • Look through the posts on this blog for a full range of sources of advice and information about your next steps in education, training or employment.
Most of all, don't panic!  Take advice, think through your options and act decisively.
