Year 9 Drop Down Day Year 9 students participated in a drop-down day focused on their GCSE Options. Pupils had the opportunity to try out subjects at GCSE level for the day to see if they would like to select these for further study, subjects inclued Music, Food Technology, Drama, Geography, Art, History, PE, Computing, Textiles and Languages. As well as the subject tasters, pupils were taught about the GCSE qualifications and how to manage their studies in the lead up to the exams in Year 11. We were very fortunate to welcome our visitors who shared insights and pathways into their careers during the Speed Networking Sessions. We heard inspiring talks from a Director of Marketing, Head of Engineering, Architect, Paramedic and Executive Administer of a Charity - each shared experiences and answered questions. Eva E, 9EDA “The Director of Marketing we listened to was really interesting, she had travelled around the world with her job and worked across many different sectors. What was most striking to me was how she had not allowed herself to be tied to one career, following her
passions and retraining to do what would make her happy.”
