Connexions is a service in England for all 13 -19 year olds (and up to 25 if you have additional needs).
Connexions Northumberland is here to help you with a range of issues. If you would like information, advice or guidance (or just someone to talk to), then come and see us.
Some of the things we could help you with are :-
careers, money, health, education, training, relationships, housing - in fact, anything that concerns you.
Your regular Personal Adviser (PA) in school is Linda McCluskey.
Roger Malton is also a PA, and he comes into school to help and support you on a Tuesday.
Your PAs will help you with your choices from Y9 onwards - just ask.
