Parents: Internal Progression Afternoon – helping your child plan their next steps

Dear parents and carers, 

We are pleased to share details of a new initiative being introduced across Activate Learning, the Internal Progression Afternoon. 

This event is designed to support students in understanding and planning their next steps after completing their current course. Our aim is to ensure learners are well informed about the full range of progression opportunities available within Activate Learning, including further study, apprenticeships, online learning and alternative pathways.

Internal Progression Afternoon event details 

The Internal Progression Afternoon will take place at each campus on the same day as the Open Event. These sessions will be from 3– 4pm before the Open Event starts at 4.30pm. 

Students are welcome to remain on campus to attend the Open Event following the progression session. 

During the afternoon, students will be supported by progress coaches, careers staff, teaching teams and other specialist colleagues. Some lessons may finish slightly earlier on the day to allow students to take part. 

In the lead-up to the event, students will be encouraged through tutorials and communications to start thinking about their future plans and the options available to them. 

Thank you for your continued support in helping your child make confident and informed decisions about their future. 

Kind regards, 

Activate Learning
