Our annual Careers Fair once again ran very successfully, offering over 120 pupils and their parents/carers from Y9-11 the opportunity to meet with a range of providers and ask them key questions towards their future career.
A wide range of colleges, apprenticeship providers and local and national businesses were represented very professionally, and all had the opportunity to speak thoroughly to pupils, to provide them with the most current information about the labour market and trends in applications.
Pupils were able to speak directly to providers, who were impressed by their knowledge and maturity of questions, including asking the Armed Forces about their pension scheme!
We thank all of the providers for coming into school, especially those volunteering their evening before Bonfire Night (Balshaw's > bonfires!) and it was also great to see many ex-pupils of Balshaw's back to represent the careers paths that they have taken, and enjoy speaking to current pupils.
