Our Year 7 students recently took part in the exciting “What’s my job?” Careers Insight Event, and it was a huge success! The day was filled with curiosity, creativity, and plenty of “aha!” moments as students tried to uncover the mystery professions of our four special guests.

Students had just 10 minutes with each guest to ask clever, thoughtful questions - without ever asking directly what their job was. The challenge? To figure it out based on the clues they uncovered.

The big reveals didn’t disappoint! One guest turned out to be a stuntman and actor, who wowed students with stories from film sets and the physical demands of his job. Another was a food developer who had worked with Gordon Ramsay and now creates menus for Nando’s and Marks & Spencer—a role that sparked lots of interest (and made everyone a bit hungry!).

We also welcomed an insurance broker, who explained the importance of protecting what matters, and a professional in AI solutions, who gave students a glimpse into the future of technology and innovation.

After the guessing game, the visitors shared their career journeys, offered advice, and encouraged students to follow their passions - wherever they may lead.

"The event was a brilliant way to introduce Year 7 to the world of work in a fun and engaging way. A huge thank you to our amazing guests and to our students, who showed great enthusiasm, curiosity, and respect throughout the day."
