We are passionate about adding enrichment opportunities for all our pupils as part of our inspiring curriculum. Alongside our ’50 things’, we are having careers days throughout the academic year. We feel these help broaden the children’s horizons, skills and thoughts about the future.
We were delighted to welcome Lewis Tomlinson, son of Mrs Tomlinson our KS1 teacher, to school to talk to our pupils about his career as a Civil Engineer.
Lewis explained the important role civil engineers play in designing, building and maintaining infrastructure that keeps our communities connected and functioning. He also shared details of his recent work on an offshore wind farm, helping to bring renewable electricity into the National Grid.
The children were fascinated to learn about the strict safety measures required when working around large machinery and construction sites. A highlight of the session was the opportunity to try on some of the personal protective equipment (PPE) that Lewis brought with him.
We would like to say a huge thank you to Lewis for taking the time to visit and inspire our pupils by sharing his experiences and career journey.
This visit marked the beginning of our Careers Talks Programme for this academic year. We look forward to welcoming more guests from a variety of professions to help our pupils explore the wide range of career pathways and opportunities available to them.
