Careers Fair
Due to Covid-19, we are unable to host our annual careers fair on the school site. We understand the importance and value of our students interacting with different employers and higher education providers and have therefore adapted the delivery of our careers fair to suit the current climate.
On this page of our website, you can hear from a range of colleges, universities, apprenticeship providers and employers. We hope that both students and parents continue to find this useful and informative.
