National Careers Week 2026

Last week, we welcomed six volunteers - Sean Bull, Wayne Carter, Mat Davies, Sarah Hinsley, Susie Johns and Dale Richards - who joined some of our Year 10 students for a Business Breakfast. Students had the opportunity to speak with the visitors, ask questions about their careers, and gain insights into the different paths they had taken.

Following some light refreshments, each volunteer visited a Year 8 class where they delivered a short presentation about their role and led students through a small task.

This experience enabled our students to explore a range of career options and demonstrate key employability skills by engaging confidently and effectively with our volunteers.

Special thanks to our volunteers who represented a varity of career areas:

• Sean Bull - Motorsport livery designer
• Wayne Carter - Biomedical Scientist
• Mat Davies - Mechanical Engineer
• Sarah Hinsley - Data analyst
• Susie Johns - Historical Archaeologist
• Dale Richards - Psychologist
