Course Choice
In order to support our young people in making the right choices, we have created a platform which provides information about all the courses we offer across departments. We would urge all of our young people to take time to consider their options carefully, thinking about what subjects they enjoy but also what will be the best options to support them to achieve their potential.
We have also had a great deal of support from our local partnerships in demonstrating the career options available. This platform also has inputs from multiple employers and partners who have offered guidance and experience for our young people to benefit from. This includes a Frequently Asked Questions section, based on questions gathered straight from the Braes young people.
Please take some time as a family to look through the options so that you make the right choice for you and your future.
