Dear Parents

I am now part way through my second term here, and it has been equally enjoyable. I have loved being involved in organising the Post-18 events detailed on the website. I have gained some positive feedback from Year 12 students who accompanied Mr Twizell and me to the Higher Education Exhibition at the Detling Showground. This was an opportunity for students to gain advice from over a hundred stands that included universities, gap year providers, apprenticeships and the armed forces.

Talks on offer included options and student finance. Students commented on how they found it helped them to make their university preferences and was a good start for their research into choices. It was good to get to know some more students, and some have followed the trip up with further careers advice.

Meanwhile I have had meetings with GCSE students and Year 11, who are encouraged to make the most of careers support on offer before they go on study leave. Students have been asked to email me once they have decided on a convenient first or second half of lesson time for their appointment on a Wednesday or Thursday and have let their subject teacher know. If you would like to arrange an appointment on behalf of your son/daughter please email careers@rmgs.org.uk
