Virtual/Remote

Here at Summerfield we want to support you on your Pathway to Success in a way that is best for you.

There are many different ways you can work on your Pathway to Success whilst you are away from school. We have lots of different activities you can try to boost your employability skills and support you in your next steps.

Keeping you safe is very important to us, so make sure you read all our helpful guides in the tab before you get started and make sure you read, sign and send school the Virtual Safeguarding agreement.

Let’s get started! Have a chat with Maria 0121 779 8090 or s509mgalbraith@summerfieldec.solihull.sch.uk

And she will tell you what to work on.

Some websites you will need to research your Pathway to success, look at possible careers, build the skills you need to be successful and practice employability skill too.
