This week, as part of National Careers Week, we were delighted to welcome a range of guest speakers to our school, including ex-students. Our visitors included Peter Russell (Project Engineer), Flo Whiting (Upcoming Stonemason Apprentice), Abi Parker (Marine Microbiologist), Emily Watt (Planning Consultant), Max Burridge (Royal Marine Reservist), and representatives from Bath University.

Students had the opportunity to hear about the speaker’s journey from their time at school to their current career. Student’s learned that it’s perfectly normal if you do not have a clear plan for the future and that many career pathways include twists and turns. The key messages shared were to dream big, develop strong values, put yourself forward for opportunities and pursue your interests with confidence.

We are very thankful for the support given by the wider community, to make this an engaging and motivating week, helping students to explore the wide range of opportunities available to them in the future.
