Careers

At WSfG, all members of staff have a responsibility to support our students and their careers education. We understand that, during their time at WSfG, our students will make the most important decisions to date about their future pathways. We aim to provide information and organise activities that raise aspirations and encourage courageous choices. We encourage students to understand themselves and their strengths and to approach their decisions with compassion for themselves. We model and encourage an excellent work ethic to help students to maintain the highest standards for themselves and to understand the importance of integrity

At WSfG our careers education supports our four school values of Courage, Aspiration, Compassion and Integrity. Our students will be making the most important decisions to date during their time at WSfG and we want to make sure they are best equipped to do so. We provide information and organise activities that we understand the importance of building the highest aspirations in our young people.  We work hard to provide them with all of the necessary information needed to make well informed decisions about the future and to break stereotypes and barriers. 

Our named careers Lead for the school is Ms Marianna Philippou Assistant Headteacher

Unifrog

Unifrog is a one-stop careers advice station.  It is a great tool to access information on colleges, universities, careers and qualifications.  Students can keep their profile up to date and get advice on their next steps. They can add activities to their ‘locker’ to build a portfolio which can support with CV writing, college and job applications.  Students’ logins will stay in place even once they have left WSFG provided that Unifrog, as a company, still exists. We encourage students to use Unifrog from Year 7 onwards so that they can start to explore their interests and strengths and build better and better career knowledge. Unifrog includes up-to-date labour and market information which is relevant to our local area. 

If you would like to create your own parent/carer account, please email Ms Philippou on the email address above who will access you with a code.
