We held our annual Careers Evening in September, welcoming more than 20 employers/employees to come and give presentations about their careers to the students in Key Stage 4. 

This included a doctor, solicitor, surveyor, engineer, data analyst, marketing director, construction company owner and many more. Over 100 students and their parents attended the event and feedback was incredibly positive. 

Each student was able to visit three different presentations over the course of the evening based on their personal career interests. During the presentations the professionals shared information such as their career journey, entry routes into their professions, typical responsibilities and expected salaries. Students were also given opportunities to ask questions.
