Full STEAM ahead for careers fair

On Tuesday we welcomed visitors who represented the vast choice of careers in Science Technology Engineering Art and Maths for our STEAM careers event.

Held in the Sports Hall, classes from all year groups attended to chat with employers, colleges and universities with the aim to inspire and educate pupils about careers in the STEAM sectors.

It was great to have so many former Priory pupils return to support the event too. Thank you to them and the many other local and national businesses, education and training providers that ventured through the snow to ensure our pupils had this valuable opportunity to explore their options for the world of work.

Event organiser and Science teacher Mrs Massey said, "We are passionate about ensuring our pupils are well informed about career options so they can make open minded choices about their future"

"I was really pleased that so many employers and education providers could attend to make this event so beneficial. The pupils were a credit to us, asking great questions, interacting with the activities and collating lots of information. Some were nervous about the prospect of talking to people they didn't know about careers but responded fantastically to the challenge."

Mrs Massey also thanked all our visitors for attending on Tuesday; we really do appreciate these organisations giving up time to inspire their next generation of employees.
