Year 10 and Year 12 students attended a careers trip to Sky Studios where they worked in 3 teams to produce a film trailer in their state of the art XR studio. The experience allowed students to operate cameras, digital editing in post-production roles and perform live for screen complete with props and costumes. The students created some impressive short films that were then screened, they had a studio tour where Jurassic World and Wicked have recently been filmed. Students got to play a careers game which revealed the vast amount of jobs available in the film and tv industry, it was very inspiring and the students took a huge amount of knowledge and inspiration away from the tour. Massive thank you to Mrs Gray for arranging this experience for our students. 

On Thursday 14th November, we ran taster sessions for those students who are considering taking A Levels. In the morning, students were given information about all the subjects which are not offered at GCSE (Economics, Psychology, Photography, Media and Politics) and in the afternoon the students chose four taster sessions in those subjects which are offered at GCSE (for example, Chemistry, History, and French).

For our Year 11s who are considering pursuing a college pathway, there was a visit to the Broxbourne and Ware Hertford Regional College campuses. They experienced what college life would be like and also spent time in different departments – Beauty, Childcare and Travel & Tourism. They thoroughly enjoyed participating in sessions such as Fashion, Hair and Visual Merchandising.

We hope all our students benefited from the day which was designed to enable them to make informed decisions regarding their choices after GCSEs.
