Overview of careers provision for each year group
Back to CareersAt Granville Academy, we introduce our students to careers activities and resources within their first term with us. For example, in term 1, we ask them to carry out Form Time careers sessions on the careers platform that we use in Affinity Learning Partnership called Unifrog (www.unifrog.org). Each student at Granville has their own login, and will access Unifrog on many occasions, in lessons, and Form Time, and even use the 'Placements' tool to record their Work Experience placements in Year 10.
