If your child is in S2 they may be preparing over the coming weeks to choose their subjects for S3. If you, or your child, feel that they would like more support in this process your child may be able to have a one-to-one conversation with the school Careers Adviser. There\u2019s also the opportunity for you \u2013 as a parent or carer \u2013 to join the conversation and discuss where their options might take them in the future. As current government guidelines don\u2019t permit these conversations to take place in person, we\u2019ll seek to make alternative arrangements by phone or video conference.<\/i><\/p>\n
