Careers Convention 2024
Careers Convention 2024 at Cirecencester Deer Park School
CAREERS CONVENTION 2024
Tuesday 8 October 2024, 6-8pm
Venue: Cirencester Deer Park School
Each year, Cirencester Deer Park School and Cirencester Kingshill School join together to create an exciting event that we hope will increase pupils' understanding of the world of work and the various progression routes beyond school. Each year we alternate the event between the two schools.
In 2024 the Careers Convention for all pupils in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 will be held on Tuesday 8 October, 6-8pm, at Cirencester Deer Park School. We very much hope that you and your children will attend this important event.
A variety of organisations, companies, colleges and universities are confirmed (see below), and the wealth of information available will benefit all year groups.
- Years 10 & 11: Pupils in Key Stage 4 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Over the next few months all of our young people will be making decisions that will affect their future. It is vital that they are equipped with as much information as possible.
We very much look forward to seeing you. Please use the sports field entrance if you are driving.
