Pupils and parents from Year 11 and Sixth From were joined by pupils from our community partner schools at the annual ‘Careers and Higher Education Convention’ which took place on the afternoon of Saturday 27th January.

The school hosted representatives from over 20 universities from across the country including the University of Bath, the University of Exeter and the University of Leeds, which are among the most popular destinations for pupils.

Professionals in attendance represented careers in a broad range of industries including law, finance and medicine, as well as careers in film and TV, music and advertising.

Alongside the ‘fair style’ event where pupils and their parents circulated the various stands, there was a series of informative talks. The University of Exeter delivered a presentation on “Advice for applying to competitive universities” and the University of Bath discussed “Economics, management and business courses”. The sessions on “Understanding apprenticeships” from Multiverse and “Aspiring to Oxbridge” by OA Education support the growing interest in important specialist areas of higher education applications.

The success of this annual event is reliant on parents, Old Emanuels and friends of the school who generously gave their time to support our pupils. Thank you.
