Meet the Team

Melissa Ryder Wolf - Careers Lead

I first came to Weston Favell Academy in 2016 as a PE and Psychology teacher. I became Careers Lead in 2018 where I completed the Teach First Careers and Employability Accreditation. My role along with the rest of the team, is to ensure pupils have a wide range of career experiences throughout their time at Weston Favell. This is to enhance their knowledge and help them on their journey to decide on what pathways they would like to take when they leave us. I feel proud to work with such inspiring young people and help guide and shape their future to enable them to move onto a suitable destination. 

At Weston Favell Academy, we have careers advisors from Prospects.  The role of the advisors is to give one-to-one advice and guidance discussions, and to support pupils to explore future options and career opportunities.  A holistic approach is used when working with pupils to overcome barriers or worries regarding their next step.
