On 4 and 5 February 2026, our Year 11 students took part in an inspiring two-day careers workshop delivered by Proactive, designed to build confidence, employability skills and real-world insight.

Across the two days, students worked with 15 employers from a range of industries, gaining valuable experience in CV writing, mock interviews and enterprise challenges. The sessions were highly interactive, giving students the opportunity to practise presenting themselves professionally, responding to interview questions and working as teams to solve business-style challenges.

The feedback from Year 11 students was extremely positive. Many commented on how helpful it was to receive direct advice from employers and to experience interviews in a supportive environment. Students particularly valued the practical tips on improving their CVs and the chance to challenge themselves outside the classroom.

We would like to thank Proactive and all the employers involved for giving their time and expertise to support our students. Opportunities like this play a vital role in preparing our young people for their next steps and future careers.
