Useful Resources for Pupils, Parents and Teachers

The aim of our website is to try and provide the information pupils, parents and teachers need to support our pupils with the information they need to make informed choices.  This website will evolve and update on a monthly basis to keep it relevant and up to date.  We have searched the internet for useful resources and information that we hope will provide you with some of the answers you need for researching aspirations, career pathways and how to become employable.  

The buttons below will re-route you from West Kirby School and College website and to the best information that we could find to support your career journey and personal development.

UNIFROG: 

Unifrog is an online platform that supports you with impartial and independent guidance on a full range of careers options. The platform is particularly helpful because it’s the only place pupils can compare every undergraduate university course in the UK as well as international opportunities. Additionally, the Unifrog platform allows students to access the most comprehensive list of apprenticeships available across the country, including higher and degree apprenticeships.  If you are a Year 10 to 14 pupils exploring your options or a teacher of a student group, please email Helen Shallcross on hshallcross@wkrs.co.uk if you do not have a login.

BE MORE:

The Liverpool City Region Be More portal is an award-winning UCAS-style apprenticeship and careers portal.

It seeks to remove some of the barriers which prevent people from taking on apprenticeships and additional training.

It brings together opportunities from across Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St Helens, and Wirral to create a fairer, stronger, cleaner City Region where nobody is left behind.

Useful Websites:

We have categorised what we thought think grouped particular topics and themes together so that you do not have to get lost on the web.  If you do, map back to West Kirby School's website and start again.
