Year 10 pupils participated in a workshop led by colleagues from Young Enterprise, a charity committed to helping young people succeed in the changing world of work.
During the half day 'Learn to Earn' workshop, pupils learned how to manage their finances including how to budget and the role of taxation. They also had the chance to reflect on their 'dream' for the future, drawing on their values, priorities and interests.
Throughout the day, we welcomed ten guest speakers who shared their varied career journeys with our pupils. Pupils were able to ask the speakers questions and the speakers were able to help guide discussions about the career goals of pupils in small groups.
As part of Character and exploring the big question 'where am I going next?' pupils are given the opportunity to meaningfully engage with employers and apprenticeship providers so they can make well informed decisions about their futures.
