Year 7 & 8 Careers Focus Week 2025

The engaging and thoughtful lessons sparked some fantastic conversations around GCSE choices, transferable skills, and future work experience opportunities
Students were eager to explore different career paths, with many sharing their interests and aspirations. They told us the lessons opened their eyes to jobs they had never heard of, and helped them better understand which careers might (or might not!) be right for them.
When reflecting on what they learned, students frequently mentioned:
• Eye-opening information about salaries
• The wide range of job roles they hadn't been aware of
• How subject knowledge links to more careers than they expected
• That many subjects help them build valuable, transferable skills
Thank you once again for your enthusiasm and support in making these events so impactful.
