This week has been an extraordinary celebration of curiosity, ambition, and possibility for our Year 11 students. We have been diving into the world of progression as part of our Year 11 Futures Week.
Over four inspiring days, our young people stepped beyond the classroom to engage with an exceptional range of visitors, from leading universities and global businesses to creative industries, public service professionals, and STEM innovators. Each session offered a window into future pathways, giving students the chance to ask questions, ignite new aspirations, and imagine what their own futures might hold.
From the Civil Service to Santander, from Mace Construction to AstraZeneca, from The Savoy Hotel to Oxford and Cambridge, our visitors shared not only their expertise but their passion. Whether exploring careers in medicine, engineering, finance, law, the arts, or entrepreneurship, our students were given opportunities that broadened their thinking and strengthened their confidence in the journey ahead.
We are immensely proud of the enthusiasm and maturity our students demonstrated throughout Futures Week. Their engagement reflects the bright potential we see in them every day, and we are grateful to every staff member and guest speaker who contributed to making this week such a meaningful experience.
Here’s to nurturing ambition, embracing opportunity, and supporting our students as they continue to shape their own futures. We will continue to look forward in our upcoming Year 11 Future Focus Day and are eagerly anticipating our Careers Fair later in the school year.
