Welcome to the

Good luck this August with the rush of young people seeking the right opportunity. All the enrolment dates are here, and this year we have the benefit of Choice with such good data and all its careers functions. Plus Choice Jobs of course, linking all the apprenticeships, jobs and courses into one place.  The Activity Agreement will be recruiting too, for those young people who need more time to prepare.
 
Best wishes, Chris

Case study on the value of improving very basic achievement - DCSF have asked for a case study of young people who took their GCSEs last year and were not expected to achieve any qualifications but, through the dedication and hard work of the young person and their PAs, ended up with a few D-G GCSEs and have since built on that achievement. If you have any case studies, that can be used, please can you send them to Chris Heaume.
