Careers Week was a fantastic adventure for our Year 5 and 6 pupils, full of discovery, imagination, and hands-on experiences that opened their eyes to the exciting possibilities ahead.

 

We kicked things off with a visit from the school nurses, who shared insights into their vital role in healthcare. We also welcomed a representative from Sandwell Leisure Trust, who taught the children CPR—an invaluable life skill that could one day help save lives. In the afternoon, pupils explored careers that sparked their interest, researched their chosen roles, and were interviewed by Mr Cains and Mrs Sturmey. To their delight… they got the jobs!

 

On Tuesday, Gary Smith from Birmingham City University visited to talk about university life and the wide range of courses available. His session gave our students a glimpse into their potential futures in higher education and ignited plenty of big dreams. 

 

Thursday brought a buzzing double session packed with local professionals from a furniture business, a radiographer, Tempest Photography, a member of an orchestra, and many more fascinating fields. The children asked brilliant questions and loved hearing real stories from people passionate about their work.

 

Crown House Technologies visited on Friday, and their impact was electric! With decades of expertise in cutting-edge engineering and offsite construction solutions, they shared their world with our students—and it lit a spark. From inspiring stories to team building activities, they showed how exciting and meaningful a career in engineering can be. 

 

Careers Week has truly inspired our pupils. They've had fun, explored ideas, and built confidence in imagining the paths their futures could take. We’re so proud of their enthusiasm and grateful to all our visitors for making the week so special.
