Morrisby Careers

Morrisby Careers has been created to help young people broaden their prospects and consider career aspirations. Morrisby Careers motivates young people to consider options they may previously have thought were unattainable by opening up a rich world of course and career opportunities. Morrisby Careers is the most popular online careers programme which has helped millions to make career choices. Students take part in a psychometric questionnaire which measures interest, attitudes and motivation. They are offered personalised career and education suggestions and have access to an impartial advisor to help them make informed decisions about their future. The young person is able to reflect and construct action plans and targets to plan their subject and career exploration.  Click here to view their website.

Letterbox Club by BookTrust

Letterbox Club is a scheme working with BookTrust and The Letterbox Club - we distribute a wide range of reading and numeracy materials to students aged 3-13, with the aim of helping the pupils develop a love of reading and a reading habit.  A regular reading habit is more strongly linked to children’s progress in vocabulary, spelling and maths between ages 10-16 than parents’ education or socioeconomic status.
