Careers Fair 2025

We are thrilled to share that our Careers Fair held on 25th April was a huge success, providing students in Years 7 to 13 with an educational and motivating experience. Employers and higher education institutions from a wide range of industries, including KPMG, the British Army, the NHS, Sports Assist, British Airways and ASK Apprenticeships, came together for the event and exchanged insightful information about different career routes and apprenticeship opportunities.

Attending universities offered advice on courses, admissions requirements, and student life, including the University of Roehampton, Reading University, Royal Holloway University of London, and University of the Arts London etc.

In order to enable students to explore a wide range of potential options, the exhibition also included local businesses and training providers. The overwhelming majority of student and visitor feedback has been good, and we are honoured to have helped our students take bold strides into the future.

The employers section was really interesting. There were people from The Hillingdon Hospital and British Airways, which made me think more about jobs in healthcare and travel. The hospital had different things for us to try out at the stand.  KPMG was there for anyone interested in business or finance, and Galaxy Real Estate and Soccer Assist had some cool stuff too. 

A lot of people liked talking to the British Army, Met Police, London Fire Brigade and Ministry of Justice. The police let us try on the uniform and have a go with the baton. They spoke about jobs in public services, and even brought different equipment and uniforms to show us a range of things. STEM Learning had science-related stuff, and the Careers Office helped explain different paths we could take depending on what we enjoy and are good at. 

Overall, the Careers Fair was really helpful. It gave us a chance to think about the future, learn new things, and ask questions. I found it really interesting and now I’ve got a better idea of what I might want to do after school.
