Careers and Pathways: Supporting your child
We provide a range of options and opportunities to help with career support and guidance for our students. Our Careers Guidance Team is here to meet with students and offer support, including specialist guidance from our Careers Adviser – Mrs Pickford. Students have the opportunity to discuss on an individual basis the support they need with their decision making, career planning and develop an action plan outlining the steps they need to take to achieve their goals.
Our Careers Adviser is also available to talk with parents to discuss any queries they may have regarding career pathways and the wide range of opportunities available to students. For any queries, please contact Mrs Pickford at jpf@knutsfordacademy.org.uk
Can you provide work experience opportunities for our students?
Could you support our students with work experience placements or work-related learning activities in school? If so, we would really value your help. Please contact Mr Trippett, our Work Experience Coordinator, to discuss further:
