In keeping with our commitment to provide students with outstanding careers guidance and tailored support when choosing their next steps after school, students use Unifrog; an award-winning, online destinations platform. All students in all Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 have access to this website.
Unifrog is the universal destinations platform and is designed to support learners in making the most informed decisions about their futures and has a range of tools that are suitable for all year groups. Each student has their own account where they can explore all the career and next step options available to them and find information on everything from managing their workload to writing a winning CV. Students have access to a wide variety of video and written content, and interactive quizzes and tests, including:
| Section of the platform | Examples of what students can do | Suitable age range |
| Quizzes | Finding their interests, personality type, preferred work environment, and skillset. | Years 7-13 |
| Exploring pathways | Explore careers, career sectors, subjects, sign up to free webinars, explore MOOCs and courses, and find wider reading materials. | Years 7-13 |
| Recording what you’ve done | Record their in-class and extracurricular activities, record examples of their skills, and see the record of careers events the school has added to their accounts. | Years 7-13 |
| Searching for opportunities | Find scholarships, activities, and bursaries to support their Higher Education journey. Find and compare degrees in the UK and overseas, live apprenticeships, and college courses. | Years 10-13 |
| Application materials / Making applications | Write their CV, cover letter, Personal Statement, and more. Track their applications and record their Post 16 / 18 intentions. | Years 11-13 |
Students access the platform by signing in to Unifrog using their school email address and password and they can do so from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. We would encourage parents to use the platform with your child so you can support them through the process of deciding their next steps. We dedicate one 30 minute tutor time slot each week in school to Unifrog activities.
Parents can also have their own Unifrog account where you’ll be able to research careers, attend webinars delivered by employers and universities to learn more about their opportunities, and compare pathways so you can support your child in making an informed decision about their next steps.
