Introducing our Careers Leader, Laura Langley

I would like to say hello again to all parents of Years 8 and above and introduce myself to our new parents for students in Year 7. My name is Laura Langley and I am the Careers Leader for Warlingham School & Sixth Form College.

This role is primarily about ensuring all our students in Years 7-13 follow a careers related learning programme that prepares them for the world outside our gates and to set them up for a successful future.

I aim to offer all students the chance to develop their employability skills and research future career paths, as well as meet many varied and interesting people from the world of work. We have the benefit of Innervate who provide our students with impartial careers interviews, as well as support workshops at key points in their education. For more information on how you can support your child with their careers aspirations, please see the newly updated parent and students tabs on the school website.

Finally, all students from Year 8 and above currently have access to the careers platform Unifrog, which is an invaluable tool for research into careers and courses, as well as the place students can record all their careers learning. I will be ensuring our Year 7 cohort are granted access as soon as possible. A separate letter will follow with instructions.

You will be able to find detailed mapping of the Careers Learning and Education programme and a huge variety of links to various websites and resources on the Careers page of the website.

If you have any questions, or if you feel you can support our programme, please do feel free to contact me at the school at any time at L.Langley@WarlinghamTLT.co.uk.
