Information for Parents and Carers
At Beccles High School we are committed to working with you to ensure that your child is able to make confident decisions about their options, at the end of Year 11 and beyond. We will cover the range of options that are available, including sixth form, college, university, apprenticeships, employment and volunteering.
Our local Further Education Colleges, Sixth Forms, Universities and employers are invited in to school to help us carry out a range of activities for students in line with our Provider Access Legislation Policy. Students take part in timetabled Careers lessons from Year 7 and access individual careers appointments with our qualified Careers Advisers in Years 10 and 11. In addition to this, we run a programme of careers and enterprise events each year, which include enterprise days, Year 10 work experience, employer talks, college and university talks and visits, guest speakers in assemblies, school trips and workplace visits.
We welcome the opportunity to speak to parents at our open events, careers fairs and options evenings and encourage parents to contact the careers team to discuss specific aspects of our careers provision or should they have any queries relating to their child.
We are always pleased to hear your feedback on the careers activities that your child has taken part in and to receive any general feedback on our careers programme.
We believe that by working with you, and ensuring that all students receive a high level of careers information, advice and guidance, that they will be best placed to make decisions about their future.
