Careers Convention 2021
Careers Convention for pupils in Years 8-11
Cirencester Kingshill School & Cirencester Deer Park School
CAREERS CONVENTION
Tuesday 28 September 2021
6.30-7.30pm
at Cirencester Kingshill School
Each year Cirencester Kingshill School and Cirencester Deer Park School join together to create an exciting Careers Convention that we hope will increase our pupils' understanding of the world of work and the various progression routes beyond school.
We take turns to host this event and this year the Careers Convention will be held at Cirencester Kingshill School on Tuesday 28 September 2021.
All pupils in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 and their parents are invited to this important event.
Many different organisations will be attending the Convention, ranging from companies to colleges to universities, and the wealth of information that will be available will apply to all year groups. To give you an idea of the areas covered and the companies coming, please see the list below.
Year 8: These pupils may think it will be a long time before they need to make choices for their future but it will soon be upon them. Attending the Convention will help them to start considering their futures.
Year 9: Pupils will soon be considering option choices for Key Stage 4. This will be an excellent opportunity to look at universities and FE colleges to see what entry requirements are needed, as well as talking to employers to discover the skills and qualifications required in various occupational areas.
Years 10 & 11: These pupils will soon be making choices for post-16 progression, whether college, sixth form or apprenticeship. There will be people on hand to answer questions. It will also be worth looking at universities to gain an idea of entry requirements and the vast number of courses available.
All of these young people, over the next few months, will have to make decisions that will affect their future. It is vital that they are equipped with as much information as possible.
We hope that you have an informative visit.
Please note:
- To minimise the mixture of schools, we are requesting that if possible you come at the time allocated to your school: Kingshill School 5:30pm–6:30pm, Deer Park School 6:30pm–7:30pm.
- We encourage attendees to wear a face covering due to the movement of people around the school.
- Some stands will be outside, so we suggest that you wear weather-appropriate clothing!
