Helpful Careers Information
Dear Year 11 Parents,
Your child will have been contacted by Colleges and invited to connect with them via Virtual New Student Events. Please ask your child to book onto these events and start to connect with their College of choice.
If your child is still unsure about which College they are going to attend in September, then we advise that they book onto all of the Colleges’ Virtual Events; the Colleges will be glad to connect with them. We have placed information about some of these events on our website.
If you or your child need any assistance with their post-16 choices, or with careers/apprenticeships after college please get in touch with Mrs Harrison at school either by telephone (01942 767040) or by emailing enquiries: enquiries@lowtonhs.wigan.sch.uk
Thank you.
