NHS Choices College Workshop

Year 11 pupils have completed a workshop with NHS Choices College on employability skills. The pupils found the workshop very useful and their high level of engagement in the session was lovely to see.

There will be more workshops taking place on a half termly basis to support our pupils with CV writing and interview skills.

As part of our work with the NHS a number of our year 11 pupils will complete work experience placements at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

KPMG Workplace Visit

The Opening Doors to Opportunities programme has been designed to give students the insight, skills and confidence to thrive in the world of work. As part of this program pupils from year 10 and 11 were KPMG consultants for the morning. They were presented with a challenge brief that staff at KPMG would have been asked to complete.  They were challenged to design a more efficient way for the ambulance service to operate.  As part of this challenge pupils learnt to develop core transferable skills including communicating effectively; problem solving; thinking creatively; positivity, confidence, resilience; as well as leadership and teamwork before presenting their ideas and plan to a panel from KPMG.

Careers Curriculum

As part of their curriculum pupils in year 10 and 11 are now receiving careers education on a weekly basis.
