The Year 10 Careers Morning took place last week, with the students fresh from a week of Work Experience. It was another successful event, with volunteers from various different spheres of work taking part in a’ speed networking’ activity with the whole Year Group. The following people kindly gave their time up for the morning to talk about their career paths:

Colin Orr – Architecture

Kirsten Ward – Transport Planning

Fiona Hammond – Senior Business Analyst

Roger Moorhouse –  Aeronautical Engineering with Becky Horgan – HR in Engineering

Dr Nisha Ijjar – Paediatric Doctor

Jess Jones – New Product Design Project Manager

Jenny Payne – PR and Languages (Russian)

Jemma Hodgson – Strategic Asset Manager

Amy Wainwright – Primary Teacher and Maria Mulvihill – PRU Teacher

Harj Kalirai – Building Society Manager

Julie Wiley – Vet with Sam Rudge – Veterinary Nurse

Captain Hazel Ashton – Royal Signals Army Reserves

This event is great because it brings the students into contact with people working in areas they may not have even considered.

Year 8 Careers Morning and Year 12 Careers Day during Activities Week were also a huge success thanks to more volunteers, including Glass Artist Melissa Nicholls, Laura Walker from AECOM, Trainee Clinical Psychologist Emily Dunn, Vet Becci Thorne (and her 4 week old kittens!) and representatives from the RAF and Barclays Bank. Thanks to everyone for taking part!
