The hall was buzzing with conversation as over 40 universities, employers, and industry representatives shared insight into the world of work and study. Pupils and their families had the chance to ask questions, gather information and start to shape their next steps with confidence.
Representatives from a wide range of universities offered advice about courses, campus life and application processes. Visitors included:

The event also featured a series of informative talks, giving pupils targeted guidance on choices such as A-levels, apprenticeships and career pathways.
The Futures Fair was an excellent opportunity for young people to explore options, gather practical information and feel inspired about the future beyond school. Pupils and families left with a clearer understanding of the choices ahead and a wealth of contacts to support their next steps.
We extend our sincere thanks to all exhibitors for their time, enthusiasm and support in making the Futures Fair such a valuable experience for our school community.
