In keeping with our commitment to provide students with outstanding careers guidance and tailored support when choosing their next step after school, we are using Unifrog, an award-winning, online careers platform. All students in Year 10 now have access to this excellent website.
Unifrog provides information and guidance on a range of opportunities and brings into one place every undergraduate university course and apprenticeship in the UK, as well as other opportunities, such as School Leaver Programmes, MOOCs and every college at Oxford and Cambridge. This makes it easy for students to compare and choose the best university courses or apprenticeships for them. They can also explore exciting opportunities further afield by looking at English taught undergraduate programmes available in Europe and the USA.
Additionally, the platform helps students successfully apply for these opportunities by writing their personal statement, applications and CVs and guiding them through the process, allowing teachers to give live feedback.
Y10 students have all been set up with a login and have already started using Unifrog. In particular, they were encouraged to look at the ‘Careers Library’ and ‘Subjects Library’ tools to help them in their initial research into future opportunities and plans.
They can now login using their email address and password, and they can do so from any computer, tablet or smartphone. We would encourage you to use the platform with your child so you can support them through the process of planning and deciding their next step.
We have also set up a parent login so that you can use Unifrog as if you were a student yourself, allowing you to truly support your child. The form code you need is: parentprincethorpe and you can sign up here.
