National Careers Week

This week we have been celebrating National Careers Week, providing our Year 8 and Year 9 students with valuable opportunities to explore the wide range of career pathways available to them.

As part of this, students attended a series of special assemblies delivered by industry professionals. Our Year 9 students heard from a representative from Lynch Construction, who shared insights into careers within the construction industry and the many routes into the sector. Year 8 students welcomed a speaker from the NHS representing the Allied Health Professions, who highlighted the diverse roles available within healthcare beyond the more commonly known careers. In addition, a group of Year 8 students took part in a Modern Foreign Languages webinar, where they learned about the many exciting career opportunities that can arise from studying languages. We hope that these experiences will have helped students begin to broaden their understanding of the world of work and the variety of pathways open to them in the future.
