Unifrog top 50

 

We are delighted to announce that despite only subscribing to Unifrog in October 2023, Chailey School is already one of the top 50 users in the Southeast region. Unifrog works with over 200 schools in the Southeast, so this is a real achievement. Well done to all students and staff who are making the most of this amazing careers website.  

As well as using Unifrog for our Careers based learning, we are also using it for our PHSE curriculum, to book work experience placements for our Year 10 students and to help to build our Careers in the Curriculum knowledge.

All students have their own login and are encouraged to use Unifrog at home as well as at school. (Year 7 will receive theirs during their computing lessons over the course of this term). Parents are welcome to sign up and have their own account. To do this, head to www.unifrog.org and use the code CHSLParents.
