Our entire Year 7 cohort participated in a ‘World of Work Day’ yesterday, thanks to our partnership with local charity Salford Foundation.

Employers from a variety of sectors spoke to our students, giving them a valuable insight into their field of work. In a rotation of sessions with each of our visiting experts our students had the opportunity to ask questions, finding out how they entered their different careers and what a typical day was like for them.

Our Year 7 questions varied from ‘how much does it cost to build a house?’ to ‘how much can I earn if I was to follow that career in the future?’

The whole day has been a great opportunity for our Year 7s to learn what life is like beyond school and it has given them a real insight into a variety of career paths that they might want to follow in the future.
