This week we are promoting National Careers Week in school.
Careers Manager Ms Coles presented an assembly to all year groups last week, detailing how National Careers Week builds on our work to promote the importance of good careers education in schools.
Students from all year groups were asked to think about the importance of developing transferable skills necessary for higher education and the workplace, with a focus on the importance of the changing labour market due to the advancements in technology.
We look forward to welcoming representatives of Further and Higher Education providers to the Academy alongside Apprenticeship providers. They will be available to all students in the canteen area every lunchtime throughout the week, offering up to date advice and guidance on the range of opportunities available to them.

We thank Robert and all the other providers for generously giving their time and knowledge and taking part in our celebration of National Careers Week.
