Careers week is an opportunity for pupils to hear from a range of different people about the jobs that they do because we know that: ‘You Can’t Be What You Can’t See’. If we want to raise aspirations across the school, we need to teach pupils about as many different career paths as we can during their time with us.
From nursery through to year 6, our pupils heard about a range of careers and discussed how their learning at school links to their future pathways. We must give a huge thank you to everyone that volunteered their time to contribute to our Careers Curriculum in such a meaningful way. Below is just a selection of the careers we learnt about during our first ever Atwood Careers Week
