Connexions
Connexions is the advice, guidance and support service for all young people aged 13-19 (or up to 25 for people with learning difficulties or disabilities). We are here to give impartial information, advice and guidance on any issues of concern.
So whether they have question or worries about careers, education and learning, getting a job, money, housing, health matters, or your legal rights, we can help!
The personal adviser for Walkden High School is Simon Farmer.
You can arrange an appointment by writing your name on the list on the door of the Admin Office (off the Atrium) or you can contact Simon on 0161 743 0163.
Simon Farmer is in school Tuesday and Wednesday.
How can Connexions Personal Advisers help?
We can help:
- By discussing option choices in year 9 and option choices after year 11.
- To apply for college course and EMA.
- To apply for jobs, apprenticeships and training places.
- With job hunting, CVs, applications forms and interview preparation.
- By talking through more personal things such as health, home life or relationships which might be affecting you.
