Parent Zone
Welcome to the Careers & Enterprise Parent Zone!
Did you know your child has a dedicated Careers & Enterprise Zone in School just for them? Why not ask them if they’ve visited it yet and what they’ve researched there? If they’ve yet to visit it, please encourage them to do so and ask them to feed back to you their findings!
Did you know your child has access to Unifrog? This is BHCS' preferred careers platform. In addition to guided lessons as part of our careers programme, students can also login at any time and complete tasks independently. You can find out more about 'Unifrog' by watching this video. To help support engagement with your child, we are giving you the chance to set up your own parent account that you can use to see what it is like to use 'Unifrog'. Although GDPR rules prevent 'Unifrog' giving you direct access to your child's account, the parent account lets you see and use all the tools your child has access to. Simply click this link and use the sign-up code BRHCparents, then complete the rest of the details to set up your account. It says, 'student account sign up code' but we have agreed with 'Unifrog' this special parental option for you.
