We are thrilled to share the success of our recent event as part of the Raising Aspirations and Careers Programme. Today, we had the privilege of hosting ‘The Inspirational Learning Group’ for a series of engaging and informative sessions.

Every Year 9 pupil participated in a one-hour ‘Engineering Discovery’ session held in the Lees Hall. These sessions were designed to provide a unique opportunity for our pupils to explore and gain insights into careers in engineering, expanding their awareness beyond the regular school curriculum.

The activities were both creative and hands-on, encouraging pupils to use and develop essential skills such as communication and teamwork—vital qualities for their future endeavours in the world of work. We believe that these experiences are crucial for fostering employability skills and preparing our pupils for success in their future careers.

We are pleased to announce that ‘The Inspirational Learning Group’ will be returning for additional sessions on Friday, February 23rd, providing further opportunities for our pupils to enhance their skills and aspirations.

Miss J Devereux, Assistant Headteacher, shared her enthusiasm, stating, “This has been a fantastic opportunity for our pupils, opening doors to new possibilities and expanding their aspirations. The informative sessions provided by The Inspirational Learning Group were truly valuable. A big thank you to the Learning Group for such a fantastic day—our pupils really enjoyed it!”

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event a success, and we look forward to more enriching experiences in the future as we continue to support our pupils in their journey towards reaching their aspirations.
