We believe that parental involvement is integral to a student’s success. 

The Futureproof website is a system leading platform which gives direct support to carers and parents to aid and facilitate those vital family discussions about options at GCSE, Post 16 destination and University, employment or apprenticeship offerings. The monitoring and tracking of engagement and understanding of pupils interests and levels of knowledge through surveys and quizzes are critical to inform appropriate interventions and tailored conversations

As we embark on this exciting journey of exploration and growth, we invite the entire St Patrick’s community to actively participate in and support our Careers Programme. Together, we can inspire and prepare our students for a future full of possibilities. Join our NPCAT Parent/Carer group. The group will meet online to discuss the following: careers in curriculum, the world of work, work experience and give feedback on your child’s careers education.
