Parent Zone (careers)
We work with staff, local employers, agencies, and education providers to deliver a carefully planned and sequenced Careers Education Programme. The programme is designed to develop your child’s character and employability skills; developing a strong knowledge and understanding of career and further/higher education pathways that enables them to make wise, informed choices and decisions about their future.
All students have access to careers guidance and support during their 5-years with Penrice; working with teachers, professional networks, digital platforms and collaborative partnerships, complimented by experienced staff who are passionate about their future.
Opportunities to Get Involved
Penrice Academy already works with a number of local and national companies who provide opportunities for our students to meet, visit and work with employees from a range of employment sectors.
If you or your company would like to support our Careers and Enrichment programmes, please contact our Careers Team at CareersTeam@penrice.org.uk or via the school on 01726 72163.
