Every year, we hold a Careers Fayre where each class talks to four volunteers talk about their job. Through this, we broaden the children’s understanding of the range of careers available to them and encourage them to be aspirational about their future goals.
This year’s fayre was in March 2026 and both children and volunteers were hugely enthusiastic about the experience. We had a huge range of occupations from a physiotherapist to photographer, videographer to head gardener.
If you would like to be part of our next Careers Fayre, please contact the school office.
We learned that even if you might know what you want to do when you’re older, you have time to decide. There are lots of different options and opportunities in different workplaces that might be just right for you. Bella O
The manager/ volunteer (Stephen) who works at museums was interesting because he gets to work with historical artefacts and visit lots of special sites. He was an archeologist which was also fascinating. Harry A
I really like art and building things and I also like nature. I’m feeling inspired by the garden designer because if I do this type of job, I could build gardens and structures or walls that benefit people AND nature. Felicity
I liked listening to Tom the engineer. I enjoy making structures out of paper like boats and cars. Tom’s session has made me think this would be a fun thing to do as a job! Jasper
I loved seeing the architect because I got to learn about what you have to do as part of the job and how you get to be an architect.. It sounds like a really interesting job and what I’d like to do when I’m older. (Arthur)
We all tested the glasses and had a go at touching the dots (Braille). Millie
Paul taught us that some people’s senses aren’t that good, so he gave us glasses to wear to show us what blind people see. Eliza
