World of Work Week 2016 was a great success, thanks to all our wonderful pupils, parents, staff and volunteers. During the week, the pupils had the opportunity to meet 32 different visitors, from a diverse range of jobs. The pupils asked lots of questions, including what skills they\u00a0need\u00a0to\u00a0succeed, the highlights and challenges of their jobs and what\u00a0to expect during a “typical day” at work. We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone\u00a0for helping us to develop the young workforce of the future!<\/p>\n
