Looking to the future

This week girls in Year 11 to Upper Sixth made the most of an opportunity to attend a hugely beneficial careers networking evening. We were delighted to welcome a range of parents, and staff members, representing a whole host of industries, to come and talk to the girls about their career paths and provide insight into their areas of expertise.

Throughout the evening 104 interviews took place in the Landau Hall allowing the girls to discover more about a variety of industries including: Legal, Business & Management, Media, Chartered Surveying, Theatre, Marketing and Finance & Accountancy.  The key objective for the girls was to gain as much information as possible about the industries and the career opportunities they have to offer. We very much hope this will help them when making decisions about university and, later, the world of work.

Headmistress, Mrs Ness-Gifford said “This event was a wonderful opportunity for our Senior girls to speak to professionals on a one-to-one basis and learn more about what it takes to be successful in a particular industry. We plan to continue to run more of these sessions in the future as it is a fantastic way to enable the girls to gain valuable insight which they can take with them through university and beyond.”
