The annual Careers Convention will take place on 20 January 2026 at 4.30pm - 7.00pm. 

The evening is aimed at Year 9, Year 11 and Year 13 students, but all are invited.  The intention is to help students to make informed choices about their future. Many of the local colleges, along with our own sixth form, will be on hand to answer any questions that you may have.
