Parental Engagement & Support Statement (2023 – 2024)
“We believe that parental engagement is a crucial component of our comprehensive Careers Education provision. We recognise that parents and guardians play a fundamental role in guiding and supporting their children’s educational and career journeys.
We strive to create an open and transparent channel of communication between the school and parents, where information about our Careers Education curriculum, activities, and resources is readily accessible. We value parents’ insights, experiences, and aspirations for their children’s futures, and we actively seek their input in shaping the direction of our program.
Through regular updates and communication from the Careers Team, we aim to equip parents with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively support their children’s exploration of career pathways. We understand that careers education is a shared responsibility, and by working together, we can provide students with a well-rounded understanding of their options and opportunities beyond school.
Furthermore, we encourage parents to actively engage in discussions about their children’s strengths, interests, and ambitions. By fostering conversations at home that align with the concepts explored in our Careers Education curriculum, we can collectively help students make informed decisions about their future paths.
By collaborating closely, we aim to empower our students to make confident and positive decisions about their education, career aspirations, and personal development. We are committed to nurturing a culture where parents are valued partners in our mission to prepare students for successful and fulfilling futures.”
