Parents/Carers

At Lawnswood School, we work closely with parents and carers to support their children to make well-informed career choices. Information relating our Focus On Your Future programme, and relevant to each year group, is available via:

• Parent consultation evenings for Y7, Y8, Y9, Y10 and Y11
• Y7 settling-in evening
• Y9 option choices evening
• Y10 target setting evening
• Y11 exam preparation evenings
• Y12 / 13
• Regular updates on the Headteacher’s newsletter
• Regular updates on twitter @lawnswoodschool

Parents and carers are strongly encouraged to attend all events relating to their child’s education and progress. Parents are also strongly encouraged to talk through their child’s Start profile regularly with their child and to encourage them to record activities that develop their employability skills in their locker.

Parents and carers who require advice or who have a question relating to careers pathways are always welcome to contact:

• Careers Leader, Mrs Gilbank Gilbank@elawnswood.co.uk 01132844020
• Career Development Coordinator, Mrs Gill Gill@elawnswood.co.uk

We regularly ask for volunteers to support FOYF activities, such as our FOYF fair, hot seat interviews, careers panels and mock interview sessions. If you, or your employer would be able to support us in any way, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Mrs Gilbank.

Friends of Lawnswood support our FOYF programme by advertising volunteering opportunities via their personal networks and their twitter feed @LawnswoodPTA.
