Careers Week 2023
Monday 6th to Saturday 11th March is National Careers Week 2023, a celebration of careers guidance and education across the UK. The aim is to provide a focus for careers guidance and education to help young people realise and fulfil their future goals.
During the week we are showing our commitment to inspiring our students and ensuring that they will leave Weatherhead with the drive and ambition to accomplish their chosen career pathway. We have a host of visitors including alumni who will be delivering assemblies and going into lessons to discuss their career pathways, as you can see on the plan below.
