Options - Choices - Careers 4 U Evening - 27th January 2010

The 27th January saw Mark Rutherford’s first Options-Choices-Careers 4 U event. Year 9 and Year 11 students, parents, subject teachers, external agencies and professional representatives were all brought under one roof for an evening of information, advice and guidance.

Students enjoyed discussing their options for GCSE’s, A level programmes and BTEC courses with school staff and then being able to find out where this might lead in the future. On hand to lend their support were The Army, Accountants, Architects, University of Bedfordshire, Aerospace Engineers, Royal Veterinary College, Royal Air Force, Connexions, Bedford College, Holdsworth Foods, the NHS and Apprenticeships, amongst many others, who transformed our sports hall into a vibrant and colourful display.

Here are some comments made by parents:

"Well done and congratulations to Mr S Peacey(Headteacher) and the staff.....the session was well organised and was helpful for parents as well as students."

"Thank you to all the staff for their input and patience in this very hard time!"

"All teaching staff were supportive, friendly and helpful as always."

 "Thanks for putting on the evening...."
