The day reflected the opportunities available, as well as the diversity of learning to students after school. One style of learning does not fit all. Here in St. Aidans’ we embrace diversity and all the opportunities available to students. Student’s abilities and learning styles and interests are our focus, not league tables, and the career event reflected this.
The Careers Day was a huge success and we wish to take this opportunity to thank all our exhibitors and speakers for helping to make it a very worthwhile event.
