Years 12 & 13 – explore university-level learning with Unifrog

As part of our wider careers and personal development offer at SJP, pupils have access to Unifrog, which helps them explore future pathways, opportunities and next steps.

On 27 October, the Unifrog Virtual Skills Academy will give Year 12 and 13 pupils the chance to take part in interactive, subject-specific masterclasses led by university experts.

With 12 sessions to choose from, pupils can explore university-level study, develop subject-specific skills and build experiences that can support future applications and personal statements.

This forms part of our commitment to giving pupils meaningful encounters with higher education, linking curriculum learning to future pathways and ensuring pupils can access opportunities suited to their interests and aspirations.

This week at SJP, our Personal Development curriculum continues to support pupils in becoming informed, confident and responsible young people.

Across Years 7–13, pupils will explore themes including stereotypes and prejudice, British Values, county lines and criminal exploitation, radicalisation and online grooming, revision and exam pressure, driving responsibilities and careers pathways.

We encourage parents and carers to talk to their child about what they have learned. These conversations help pupils reflect, ask questions and apply their learning beyond the classroom.
