Just a quick note to say how much our pupils enjoyed
the careers event last week. They are still buzzing about it! It was a great opportunity for them to see what the possibilities are, for them, in the future. I brought a group of pupil premium children, which included one child who has recently lost his Dad and another, who doesn't have positive role models at home.
