Careers information for parents
All students at Bobby Moore Academy have access to unifrog, the universal destinations platform. We recommend that students visit this site when looking for a wide range of careers guidance. Using their own unique profile, pupils can access a wide range of high-quality careers resources and guidance including:
- Completing quizzes on how their personal interests, personality and skills link to a range of suitable career choices
- Accessing information on a wide range of different careers and subjects they may wish to study post-16
- Recording activities they complete inside and outside of school, to help them build their own CV
- Watch live and pre-recorded webinars on a range of key careers topics
- The ability to search up-to-date information for post-16 colleges, apprenticeship providers and UK and overseas universities and access university personal statement support and up-to-date UCAS information
As a parent/carer, you can also have your own Unifrog account. You’ll be able to research careers, attend webinars delivered by employers and universities to learn more about their opportunities, and compare pathways so you can support your child in making an informed decision about their next steps.
