Array of Career Events

The summer term as always was full of amazing career-focused events. We were thrilled to welcome Gristwood and Toms, leading experts in arboriculture, who spoke to our Year 10 to 13 students about apprenticeships and the incredible opportunities in their industry. Students even had the chance to meet a successful apprentice and see some of the tools and personal protective equipment they use every day.

We were also joined by Lauren Christie from Sky Studios, who shared valuable tips on how to make the most of work experience placements, and by Clarion Housing for a fantastic talk on skills in the construction industry. Our Year 12 students also took part in mock interviews and met with some of our brilliant Hertswood alumni, who shared their experiences since leaving the Academy. We are so proud of our students for engaging with these events and taking control of their future!
