Careers Support For Parents
The careers curriculum at Netherthorpe has been specifically designed to give our students the opportunity to explore different career ideas, whilst considering the choices and pathways available to them at key points in their education. Students receive careers information through timetabled PSHE lessons, personal development form time activities and careers drop-down events each year, along with the opportunity to take part in trips and activities that allow them to engage with employers and educational providers.

Parental Feedback
We actively seek feedback from parents and carers to help shape our CEIAG provision. This survey is intended to gather feedback from parents on the careers programme at Netherthorpe. It gathers parents’ perceptions on the support offered to them by the school/sixth form and the impact of the careers programme on their child(ren). Thank you for taking the time to complete this
