Year 8 Students Take Part in Step into the NHS Competition

As part of National Careers Week, our Year 8 students participated in the Step into the NHS competition, where they were challenged to design a job advert for one of the 350 different careers within the NHS.

Students explored a variety of roles, from midwife to cardiac physiologist, chef to pharmacist, gaining valuable insight into the skills and qualifications required for each profession. Days like this are essential in helping students broaden their understanding of career opportunities while developing their knowledge of the pathways available to them.

In addition to the competition, students also took part in live online sessions featuring NHS speakers, fun activities, and interactive opportunities with employers. A highlight of the day was when one of our students’ questions was read out live online, making the experience even more exciting and engaging.

We received a fantastic range of entries, all showcasing creativity and enthusiasm. While all submissions will be entered into the national competition, we are also in the process of judging them internally with final results being announced in next week’s AOW.

Congratulations to all of the students who took part.
