KS3 pupils had the most fabulous opportunity of meeting a wide range of businesses from several employment sectors on their Careers Day on Friday 10th February 2023. Pupils met an archaeologist who shared his exciting experiences of recovering items from the ground in a whole host of countries including Egypt where he had a close encounter with a scorpion. His protective gloves saved the day!
Representatives from two construction firms came to talk to the pupils: Stepnell and Prime PLC. Both companies shared the vast array of projects that they have been involved with including building schools with slides as stairs! Imagine! Prime PLC set the pupils a construction task using spaghetti and marshmallows!
Regarding food, Ipsley’s own catering firm, Aspens, came to talk to the pupils about all aspects of their job. In this session pupils were able to sample chocolate brownies and consider what the secret, healthy ingredient might be! You will never guess what it was!
Representatives from Howmet Aerospace came to our Careers Day. Pupils learnt all about design and construction of space and aircraft and how important this job will be in the future.
For the scientists at Ipsley, there was an exciting opportunity to meet a virologist who shared with the pupils her education pathway and the projects that she had been involved in. Additionally, pupils were able to work with Severn Trent where they found out about water treatment and what to and, most importantly, what not to put down the toilet or down the sink! Pupils participated in a game show!
Year 7 pupils were able to meet swimming instructors from an organisation called ‘Scholfin’. Not only did they learn about being sports and swimming coaches, but they also learnt about water safety- a vital life skill. Pupils learned all about Oakland International, a local haulage firm who has well established links with our school.
The day concluded with an informative assembly for Year 8 on apprenticeships taken by Kerry from Worcestershire Apprenticeships.
We want to pass on our massive thanks to all the employers who gave up their days for the benefit of our wonderful pupils! Thank you!
