Future Friday Breakfasts – 08.00h Green Room

As part of our Careers Education Programme, we are delighted to introduce Future Friday Breakfasts—a regular event open to pupils and their parents. These sessions will feature guest speakers from a wide range of industries that reflect the interests and aspirations expressed by our pupils.

We warmly encourage you to join us for these informative and engaging mornings. Research consistently shows that parents play a pivotal role in shaping their child’s career choices. We hope these events will not only broaden pupils’ awareness of potential career pathways but also equip parents to support meaningful career-related discussions at home. BOOK HERE FOR A PLACE

Evening Careers Webinars

These careers-focused webinars are designed to help both pupils and parents gain a clearer understanding of the wide range of options available after the age of 18. The earlier pupils are informed about these pathways, the better equipped they are to make informed decisions about their GCSE and A level subject choices. Early awareness also enables pupils to seek out relevant work experience and engage in super-curricular and extra-curricular activities that will help them stand out when the time comes to leave school.

Each webinar will feature guest speakers who will share their own experiences and insights, offering a real-world perspective on different post-18 pathways. These sessions will also highlight the flexibility within modern career journeys, including how pupils may pursue more than one route simultaneously—and how to manage such choices effectively.
