We were delighted to welcome a diverse and engaging range of both local and national companies to deliver inspirational assemblies to each Year Group, providing them with valuable insights into potential career paths as a part of National Careers Week 2025.

The speakers shared their career journeys, the skills required in their industries, and advice on how students should prepare for the world of work.

The week sparked inspiration, encouraged ambition, and helped students see the vast opportunities available to them beyond school. It was an invaluable experience that reinforced the importance of making informed choices about their futures.

The aim was also to provide a focus for career guidance at an important stage in the academic calendar, to help support young people to develop awareness and excitement about their own futures.

A huge thank you to all the companies, establishments and individuals involved for giving up their invaluable time to inspire and support our students! We really appreciate it.
