Castle School

Y11, 12 and 13 pupils recently completed work experience.  We had some fantastic opportunities both in school and with different businesses, what an amazing week!

A group of Y10 pupils attended the Inspiring the Black Country Career and Skills Event at Dunstall Park in June.  Over 30 employers and training providers attended with interactive opportunities for students to get hands on with potential future careers.  Amongst other things, we tried being BBC presenters, tram drivers, publicans, fire alarm technicians and engineers.

Primary Careers Day

Primary enjoyed a brilliant Careers Day, encountering lots of different possibilities for their futures.  Pupils were scientists, police officers, fire fighters, builders, scientists and lots more!

Secondary Careers Morning

The whole of secondary took part in careers morning, completing activities to allow them to explore jobs they may want to do in the future. A big thank you to Juniper Training who also attended and shared some activities relating to the courses they offer.  

Year 11, 12 and 13 recently attended the National School and College Leaver Festival.  Here we met a range of education and training providers and employers and got to try out lots of different activities and discover education and career opportunities we had never thought of before.
