Parents & Carers

    If you would like to discuss your child’s future plans and career options then please do not hesitate to contact Miss Amy Marshall, CEIAG Co-ordinator (Careers Adviser & Co-ordinator) at Urmston Grammar by e-mailing amarshall@urmstongrammar.org.uk or calling on 0161 748 2875.

    Amy Marshall is available at Parents Evenings and key events to provide help and support to students and parents/carers.

    You can see the full range of careers education that your child will receive at Urmston Grammar School by looking at our Careers Programme here.

    The Careers team holds attendance records for all careers events and employer encounters and also uses the careers planning tool Compass+ to map out our careers programme.  Students or parents/carers can request a copy of their individual attendance record at any time by contacting the Careers team. Our students also use the careers platform Unifrog to research careers, skills and post 16/18 opportunities and on this platform they have the responsibility to add their careers experiences and reflect on them.

    CAREERS NEWSLETTER

    A weekly newsletter will be e-mailed out to parents/carers to inform of career activities and opportunities in and out of school that will benefit their children and will help them in making well-informed and realistic decisions for the future. These are e-mailed to students and they can also access these via Student SharePoint on the school intranet.
