Careers Week

On the week of 9th – 13th February we will be having a school wide Careers Week. Across the week there will be a series of activities, both on-site and off-site, aimed at every group in school.

As well as bespoke career activities, subject leaders will be teaching lessons that directly relate to the world of work.

Planned events across the week include:

• Year 7 – A bespoke tour of AB Ports, one of Southampton’s biggest employers.
• Year 8 – In School Apprentice Speed Network – The Careers and Enterprise Company will be coming to do a session about what an Apprenticeship is and meeting 5 Apprentices to understand what they do and how they earned their roles.
• Year 9 – Solent University Tour – The University are hosting a group of Year 9’s, and some older pupils to introduce them to life at University as well as a tour of their facilities.
• Year 10 – Our Year 10 pupils will be going out for the week on their work experience placements. We look forward to seeing what they learn and how they enjoy their experiences.
