At a time when students are making GCSE choices, this assembly was very timely and demonstrated how extra-curricular activities can add value to a student’s CV, preparing them with the right employability skills for their futures.

Details of how to register are below and we encourage students to look at this website with their families to ensure they make the best, informed decisions for their chosen pathways:
