Careers Guidance at The John Roan School Sixth Form

Unifrog

We work with Unifrog to provide students with a holistic careers service at school. (Please include picture of the logo)  

Every student has a Unifrog log in and guided sessions are timetabled into students’ time with their tutors during Year 12. Unifrog has over 50,000 careers profiles and helps students with the following:  

  • Understanding and building their own ambitions for the future through exposure to a wide range of careers and industries 

  • Allowing students to explore courses at universities, including example personal statements, grade requirements, different universities and wider reading 

  • Helping students explore universities in the UK, Europe and America with guidance on the differing application processes 

  •  A live apprenticeship tracker to allow students to see apprenticeship opportunities available in real time and then apply 

  • Supporting the development of a UCAS personal statement and CV 

At The John Roan School, our careers provision focuses on what our students need to know at each part of their development with us, as well as equipping them with the essential skills for life beyond compulsory education.
