Parental involvement is encouraged at all stages. Online resources have been specifically chosen to help parents become more involved. All online resources are easily accessed through the links on the Academy website. Parents are kept up to date with career-related information through letters, newsletters, and at evenings open. Parents are welcome at careers interviews and where necessary, are invited. This year, the department has launched a dedicated careers Instagram page which is packed with guidance and opportunities for students, parents and careers.
