All year 11 pupils should now have logged on to Kent Choices. https://www.kentprospectus.co.uk/login

This is the website that all year 11 must use in order to apply for 6^th Forms, College etc – including our own.  Every pupil has been given a username and password. If this has been forgotten, we can reset this in school, via Mrs Brown at Reception or through Mr Morgan (via Teams, or in person).  There are a number of sections that need to be completed, including Personal Details (this is where they will get messages about potential interviews) and a Personal Statement – there is support on how to do the Kent Choices filling in and Personal Statements on this page : https://www.stgeorges-school.org.uk/3462/year-11-careers-post-16-options

You may have already received an email from Kent Choices themselves – they are due to be sent out to all parents in Kent this week. Please read it and ensure that your child is able to log in.

We have been working through year 11 Careers Interviews during term 1, and these will continue in term 2.  We usually complete these interviews just after Christmas.  Please look out for my Personal Devleopment newsletter in Term 2 which will have further links and information to help you child in their transition from year 11.
