Last week we welcomed Emma and Jayne from Willmott Dixon to support our students who remained in school during Y10 Work Experience Week. They focused on employer soft skills such as communication and teamwork whilst building a dodecahedron. It was a fantastic session, thank you so much. #enjoyingexcellence

On Wednesday, we had the fantastic opportunity to have HSBC and Zero Gravity deliver our Year 10 Careers Day. The children started the day with a motivational talk by Kamal Ellis-Hyman, Founder of ‘Aim a Little Higher’ and then they followed tasks as ‘HSBC Apprentices’ where they needed to develop a technology-focused solution to support others with managing their finances #enjoyingexcellence

As we wave goodbye to National Apprenticeship Week, I wanted to share with you some posters that show how subjects link to potential apprenticeships. It is useful to see how subjects will prepare you for your next steps. Please keep an eye out on your school emails! #enjoyingexcellence

As National Apprentice Week continues, I would like to share with you an apprenticeship journey by one of our alumni, Keanan Morgan. He is currently completing a Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship with Howdens. #enjoyingexcellence

As we are now settled back into the Academic Year and with GCSE exams approaching, here is a free parent-focused webinar that could help support families. The link to sign up can be found here: https://thedegreegap.com/gcse-summit #enjoyingexcellence
