Studies have shown that when young people make decisions about their future parents and carers can have the greatest influence over this decision making process. To help you support your child you may want to ensure that you understand the options that you son/daughter has.
We would recommend that you visit the websites detailed below to develop your understanding of these ever changing options.
A member of the careers team will be available to speak to parents at all of our parent contact evenings, should you wish to discuss your Childs career options at any other time please contact the academy’s Careers Leader Damon.Lewis@qka.education or by telephone on 01733 383887.
