Dear Parents and Carers,

Over the past few years, we have been fortunate to welcome several of you into school to share your professional experiences with our learners as part of our careers programme. These talks, whether delivered during our Careers Breakfasts or in Sixth Form Assemblies, have been incredibly valuable, offering learners real-world insights and inspiration as they consider their own future pathways.

We are now looking to relaunch this initiative and would be delighted to hear from any parents or carers who would be willing to volunteer their time to speak with our learners. Whether you work in healthcare, engineering, the arts, business, public service, technology, or any other field, your story could make a real difference in helping our learners understand the range of opportunities available to them.

There are a few different ways to get involved:

• Careers Breakfasts: Informal morning sessions where learners can chat with professionals over breakfast.
• Sixth Form Assemblies: More formal presentations to our older learners, often followed by a Q&A.

From September 2025, we are also looking to invite businesses into school to run one-day project-based workshops with learners in Years 7 to 9. if you feel you or your organisation could support us with this exciting new initiative, please do let us know.

if you are interested in taking part, or would like to find out more, please complete the form at this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bItnkdH9NsJV8PVBRXuYEHA1_cB827qUe4MiFqZALrU/viewform?edit_requested=true

We are grateful for any time you can offer and will work with you to find a format and date that suits your schedule.

Thank you once again to all those who have supported this initiative in the past. We look forward to building on that success and continuing to broaden our learners' horizons with your help.

Best Regards
Mrs Gwyther
