Thanks so much for inviting us to the event, the
pupils had a great morning and we made lots of
contacts for school. It gave our pupils the
opportunity to look at other options alongside
colleges courses and also opened up the topic of
work and importance of work, punctuality,
opportunities within companies and expectations
within the workplace.

Just a quick note to say how much our pupils enjoyed
the careers event last week. They are still buzzing
about it! It was a great opportunity for them to see
what the possibilities are, for them, in the future. I
brought a group of pupil premium children, which
included one child who has recently lost his Dad and
another, who doesn't have positive role models at
home.

It’s given me lots of ideas and guidance
about how to achieve my future
I learned more about apprenticeships
I got chance to try things out and ask
questions
The people were friendly and helpful
I don’t feel as worried about the future as I
was before
I feel more positive about my future
The pupils who attended enjoyed speaking to
the sponsors it was great to see them asking
questions and talking about their aspirations
on leaving school and their futures.
In previous jobs I have attended many careers
events, this one was by far the most organised
and extensive I have ever attended
