    Website name

    Description

    We use Unifrog at Glenmoor & Winton academies for all year groups. To access Unifrog for the first time, students will need access to their school email account at https://outlook.office.com. If you cannot access your account, please email smhw@glenmoorandwinton.org.uk.

     

    The Complete Destinations Platform

    Unifrog is an online platform that supports schools and colleges to deliver their statutory duty to provide students with impartial and independent guidance on the full range of Post-16 and Post-18 options.

    Unifrog is the only place where students can compare every undergraduate course in the UK as well as international opportunities. Additionally, unifrog provides students with access to the most comprehensive list of live apprenticeships available across the country including Higher, SLIP and degree apprenticeships, as well as FE courses.

    Once students have explored their interests and compared the full range of pathways available to them, Unifrog provides one place for students to draft all materials needed for applications such as CVs and personal statements.

    All students, across all year groups, now have access to the platform in keeping with our commitment to provide students with outstanding careers guidance and tailored support when choosing their next steps.

    Benefits for teachers

    Unifrog is a whole school careers platform. It allows teachers and careers advisors to track their pupil's progress and keep a record of their research and all of the careers interactions each student has received. It makes it easy for teachers and careers advisors to work with students to find the best next step for them. Staff are able to provide feedback on applications, comment on student's research, log careers interviews and interactions, as well as upload actions plans, and provide support and feedback on application materials.

    Information for parents and carers

    Every parent/carer can have their own login to Unifrog, where they can access the tools, information and guidance to support their child to make their best next step. Contact careers @ glenmoorandwinton.org.uk to receive your unique login for Unifrog, and receive support on how to navigate the Unifrog platform.
