Our FHS Pathways Website is a dedicated online support tool, designed to guide all pupils through key academic, career and post-school planning decisions, ensuring they are well prepared for life beyond Falkirk High School. It provides a central hub of resources and structured support to help our young people explore and identify their strengths, interests and future aspirations. It has clear information on options ranging from further and higher education to employment and training. The website brings together career education, employer engagement and curriculum offerings, underpinned by close collaboration with partners such as Skills Development Scotland and Developing the Young Workforce and Forth Valley College, to help support pupils at every stage of their learner journey.

For pupils:

• Clear pathways information and tools to support decision-making on subject choices, career options and next steps
• Access to careers guidance and specialist support from school-based careers advisers (SDS)
• Opportunities to engage with employers, work placements and real-world insights that broaden experience and aspirations

For parents and carers:

• A centralised and accessible platform to understand the full range of pathways and support options available to your child
• Guidance on how to support career conversations at home, including access to local and national careers services and resources
• Opportunities to engage directly through information events and consultations, ensuring that families are informed partners in planning for future success.

FHS Pathways is focused on maximising pupil potential, building confidence, and helping families navigate choices with clarity and confidence as pupils prepare for the next phase of their lives.
