In October, we hosted our Careers and Aspirations day at St Monica's.

Our theme for the day was ‘Reach for the Stars’ - we want all children within our school to feel empowered by the world of opportunities that await.

We feel it is very important to raise the aspirations of our children and provide them with the knowledge of that will e wide range of careers that are available to them in the future.

A very broad range of professionals visited the school to help us deliver an informative and fun day, introducing children to a broad and balanced range of careers and future job prospects: over 30 visitors in to school made the day one to remember. 

We knew Careers Day would be a success, but when we saw all the smiling children coming into school dressed up as a huge range of professions we knew it would more than that, it would be a day to remember.

From vets to builders, authors to teachers, business owners to personal trainers - we had a superb range of career choices from our pupils. You all outdid yourselves and thank you for that. Over 30 people visited school, either in person or via Zoom across all year groups. The children asked superb questions and many left with the highest of aspirations for the future. We even had a personal video message from an astronaut in training from our local area - it’s going to be hard to beat that and it shows: our children can become anything! Remember our Core Value of Aspiration: Dream Big!
