In addition to this, The Ridgeway School and Sixth Form is proud to provide membership for every student to a dedicated careers site for students, giving a user-friendly platform.
Unifrog is ‘the complete destinations platform’ for career research and career skills development. In addition, The Ridgeway School uses Unifrog to help motivate students to work hard towards their goals – thus raising attainment. Unifrog is mapped against the Gatsby Benchmarks and as such helps The Ridgeway School and Sixth Form to deliver careers guidance aligned to the Gatsby Benchmarks.
Throughout their time at the school, all careers-based activity (from interactions and competencies to intentions and interests) is recorded on the students individual page.
