Events and Opportunities
Please find links below to information about careers trips and events as well as other externally-provided opportunities that will help our students to explore their future options and develop their skills:
Our recent Careers Fair welcomed over 25 providers, including employers, independent training providers, colleges and universities. Students from Y7-Y12 attended the event throughout the day and the feedback from exhibitors about the engagement and behaviour of the students was very positive.
