WHO ARE CONNEXIONS?
Connexions is a service for all young people aged 13-19 years old or up to 25 years old if they have a learning difficulty or disability. The service provides information, advice and guidance on routes into education, training and employment. Personal Advisers also support young people who maybe facing difficulties around homelessness, drugs, teenage pregnancy and /or benefit issues. We also advertise jobs vacancies and voluntary and leisure activities for young people who may want to get more involved in the local community.
The Personal Advisers in Wentworth High are Les Tandy and Emma Al-Hakim. In school we are based in room 63. You can also contact us at the Salford Connexions Centre on 0161 743 0163. We see all year 11 pupils for 1:1 interviews to discuss their plans after school. We will help pupils to apply for college, jobs or training opportunities. We also attend reviews with pupils in years 9,10 and 11.
