For the last  four  weeks, 14 Year 10 students have been lucky enough to take part in a programme led by Future Frontiers aimed at giving students as much information and guidance to allow them to make informed decisions about their future careers.

Every Thursday, students travelled to London to meet 1-to-1 with their own business mentor and discuss their career aspirations, academic grades and how they learn best. The first session introduced them to their business mentor, who will work with them all the way through to their GCSEs and even help with choices and decisions beyond. The second and third sessions looked at how students learn best by taking a personality quiz aimed at helping students understand their strengths and weaknesses. The last session involved students speaking online to various employers ranging from games designers to zookeepers.
