Year 11 Careers Fair

Published 18/10/24, by Monica Freeman

This week Year 11 went to a Careers Fair hosted by John Hanson School.

Student feedback on this trip;

'The people there really know how to sell their college and they like it when you ask difficult questions. They really knew their stuff. What I learnt from the day is that I still want to go to the same college, but it was interesting to see the other opportunities that are out there.'

'We thought we knew what we wanted to do and where to go, but the trip made me open my eyes to all the other things that I could do.'

'The trip made me realise that I was sure about what I wanted to do and where I wanted to study in the future.'

The list of colleges and businesses that attended are:

Andover College

Welcome to Kooth’s October newsletter

As we approach World Mental Health Day on the 10th of October, it’s a perfect time to reflect on any challenges your students face, especially with the recent changes in social media safety.

According to a recent BBC article, nearly 60% of young people have experienced negative impacts from online interactions. At Kooth, we provide a clinically safe and moderated digital space where you and your students can seek support for their mental health without fear of trolling, discrimination, or sharing personal details. Our team reviews all user-generated content, and anonymity is strictly maintained.

KoothKlass and KoothTalks webinars

Our free webinars offer valuable insights for education professionals and parents, providing practical information and guidance on key mental health topics.

Helping young people stay safe on their new smartphone

With over a third of parents and carers feeling uneasy about their child having their first smartphone, we've put together this session to explore supporting a child's mental wellbeing whilst using the device plus information on UK law and social media usage and online safety tips. We are also offering a KoothKlass live stream morning assembly session for Year 7 students on staying safe on your new smartphone.

KoothKlass for Year 7 students: book your place here

Meeting the needs of neurodivergent and Special Education Needs & Disabilities (SEND) young people.

Children and young people waiting for an assessment or navigating a diagnosis may need additional emotional support. We’re offering a webinar this month exploring how our platform meets the needs of neurodiverse and SEND young people.

Emotionally Based School Avoidance

Our December webinars focus on helping you understand a little more about Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA), hear from a young person’s perspective, and explore support strategies with Kooth’s Senior Clinical Psychologist.

Parents and carers may also be seeking support for their anxious child avoiding school. They’re often juggling work and caregiving, feeling deeply worried while their child remains at home. So we’re also offering a webinar for families.
