Careers Guidance for Students
We understand what a stressful time it can be when looking at decisions that are going to affect your future, from year 8 options and GCSE choices and then looking at your post 16 or 18 provisions. That is a lot to think about. During your time at Nene Park Academy you will receive a whole range of activities, sessions and experiences that will make all those occasions that little bit easier. Below you will see a range of different links that can offer independent support and guidance. In school you will receive support from your SSA, Academic Mentor, Form Tutor, Senior Tutor, Teachers and me, your Careers Advisor.
You can request a careers meeting at any time either emailing me directly vbarkney@neneparkacademy.org or asking your form tutor or SSA to let me know.
