From February 2025, we have external careers support from Alison Webb.

The document below links to the Lancashire County Council KS4 to KS5 Transition Booklet which provides information about individual school sixth forms, colleges and apprenticeship providers based in Lancashire.  The information is shown by providers to help young people make informed decisions about their next steps, such as on how to apply for a place, where to find information on courses and how to prepare for Year 12.

Unifrog

Balshaw’s C.E. High School is using Unifrog to support its careers provision.

Unifrog brings a comprehensive range of careers information into one user-friendly platform that helps students make the best choices, and submit the strongest applications. It empowers teachers and careers advisors to manage progression effectively and has a partnership with a diverse range of universities and employers to further support students to be successful.

Every student has their own individual log in and profile which they personalise with links relating to their own individual interests. Students can log into their Unifrog profile and resources using any digital device both in school and at home in order to increase their awareness of potential future pathways.
