Year 10 Careers and Colleges News w/c 15th June 2020

As we are unable to have our taster days this year at , Strode’s and Woking Colleges, the colleges are working hard at putting together information and holding virtual tours for you. Please look on the links provided and sign up to the ones that you want to do. If the times are inconvenient the colleges are often amenable to send you a link that you can look at later or you can view tours that have already happened. In addition, we are still offering personal careers advice remotely from Mr Allon-Smith who works for Innervate. All these are recorded for safeguarding purposes. If you would like an interview to discuss colleges, courses and careers, please email: s.pinole@thamesmead..sch.uk
