Today has been one of the best fayres we've been involved with - all of the students were really switched on! - Lance-Corporal M C and Corporal R K, British Army

On Friday 26^th March, we had nearly 30 organisations come along to the very first PHSG Careers Fayre, including employers, apprenticeship providers, universities, and 16+ education/training providers.  Each Year group had a dedicated period of time allocated so that they could meet the visiting businesses and institutions, and find out about the different pathways open to them in the future. You can see photographs from the event in our Gallery. 

One of the stands was represented by two of our recent Year 11 leavers, Maisey and Zara.  Both left PHSG last year after securing highly coveted apprenticeships with Babcock International - Maisey in the Communications Team, and Zara in Nuclear Transformation. They shared that they "would have loved this type of event" when they were in their final year at school because none of the post-16 study options had really appealed.

We spoke to students at the end of the event who shared that they had spoken to lots of employers they never would have considered approaching in the "real world".  And another student who had visited the numerous university stands commented that it had been a really useful opportunity to learn how specific courses interlink with different career paths.

The careers fayre forms part of our commitment towards ensuring every young person succeeds, in line with our school motto, 'For Life, not school, we learn' and contributes towards meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks. 

Thank you to all of the fantastic organisations who attended the careers fayre and answered the many questions from our students.  We look forward to repeating it next year with even more organisations!

And finally, a huge thank you to Mr Doyle, our Careers Lead, for organising the event!
