Unifrog – The Complete Destinations Platform
Dear Parent / Carer,
In keeping with our commitment to provide students with outstanding careers guidance and tailored support when exploring career ideas and choosing their next step after school, we continue to use Unifrog; an award-winning, online careers platform. All students in Year 7 have access to this excellent website and after half term they will begin using Unifrog in their PSHE lessons to as they work through their Careers topic.
Unifrog brings into one place every university course, apprenticeship, and college course in the UK, as well as other opportunities, such as School Leaver Programmes, MOOCs and every college at Oxford and Cambridge. This makes it easy for students to compare and choose the best university courses, apprenticeships or further education courses for them. They can also explore exciting opportunities further afield by looking at English-taught undergraduate programmes available in Europe and the USA. If your son/daughter isn’t sure where to start with their careers exploration, there are a number of tools and quizzes on there to give them a starting point.
Additionally, the platform helps students successfully apply for these opportunities by using Unifrog to write their personal statement, applications and CVs and guiding them through the process, allowing teachers to give live feedback.
Students access the platform by clicking a link in their welcome email (this will be sent during half term so students can access it ready for their first PSHE lesson), where they create a password and can begin using the platform. They login to Unifrog using their email address and password and they can do so from any computer, tablet or smartphone. We would encourage you to use the platform with your child so you can support them through the process of deciding their next step.
We have also set up a parent login so that you can use Unifrog as if you were a student yourself, allowing you to truly support your child. The form code you need is: BSCCparent and you can sign up here: www.unifrog.org/code.

Yours faithfully,
Miss E Darby
