On 1st October, the Careers Department welcomed Chloe and Jonny from Blackburn College to give the whole of the Year 11 year group an extended assembly on BTECs and vocational courses in which they might be interested Post 16. They obtained a great deal of information from the interactive presentation and short film, and they also had the chance to ask questions at the end.
After the assembly, a group of 20 pupils were given the opportunity to have a more in depth Q&A session to ask questions that are more specific about possible courses in which they might be interested.
This was an excellent opportunity, and the pupils certainly were given something to think about as they start to make firmer plans for next year.
