Year 8 pupils have been exploring opportunities and widening their horizons by taking part in an exciting careers carousel event. This was designed to broaden their understanding of the world of work and spark curiosity about future possibilities. In small groups, pupils rotated between a variety of employer stations, including representatives from the police, Specsavers, and local construction companies.

We’re proud of how engaged and respectful our pupils were throughout the event. Experiences like this are key to building confidence, raising aspirations, and helping young people make informed choices as they start thinking about their next steps.

Pupils in Nursery spent a morning learning about jobs. They spoke to some parents about what their jobs were and what they enjoyed about them. They finished the morning off by thinking about what jobs they might like to do when they grow up. This activity helped our youngest pupils to begin developing an understanding of the purpose of work in life for themselves and society as a whole. 

Year 10 completed a week of work experience in June. The whole year group took part whether that was by securing an external placement or an internal placement in the school. All pupils found this a very rewarding experience which helped them to develop resilience and the ability to be adaptable in response to challenges, choices and responsibilities of work and life.
