The Futures Department (HE and Careers) works with pupils from Shell through to the Upper Sixth providing a comprehensive programme of careers education.
Last week, the second in the L6th Launch series welcomed five more inspirational guests to share their career journeys. Our thanks to Philip Cayford KC, Lt. Col. Thomas Smith, Lucy Mackenzie, Andrew Salmon, and Edward Tryon for their time and insight.
Our L6th 'Launch' lecture this week welcomed Lord Dominic Johnson, Dr Autumn Rowan-Hull, Joanna Jensen and Alex Baring; we are grateful for their expertise and insight into their respective areas and the pupils benefited hugely from learning about their inspirational careers.

A busy afternoon in Court yesterday for over 300 L6th pupils from College, St John's and King's, Bruton, at our Higher Education and Careers Fair. They met representatives from 28 universities in the UK, Erasmus, Utrecht, 13 gap year companies and a variety of career areas.
Last night our 'Launch' lecture series welcomed Nick Jones, Charlie Bryant and Andrew Salmon to give insights and reflections on their experiences of Business and Entrepreneurship: an exciting opportunity for pupils to consider next steps towards their futures #careerseducation
Last weekend, 11 pupils experienced seminars from Oxford and Cambridge academics and an individual ‘supervision’; inspired by new reading recommendations and the academic interview-style environment, they are well into preparations for their applications in October.
The L6th get an insight into life as a Dyson apprentice from OM Miya Scott and there is excitement from the Hundred as Lorna Owen from FSC/Ask Apprenticeships discusses the range on offer to them!
It's National Careers Week #NCW2024 and we are looking forward to our Apprenticeship Fair with OM Miya Scott, a Dyson Engineering apprentice graduate; L6th Careers Sector workshops; and the next in our 'Launch' series, on Politics, Crisis Management and Political Journalism.
#UCASTA24 the annual UCAS conference is underway, a great opportunity to hear of current trends, look ahead to the next cycle and learn from other experts.
After exeat, the FutureSmart Careers team arrived for individual interviews with the Hundred. They discussed everything from work experience and A level choices to setting longer-term careers goals. The pupils rated their sessions 9/10 🏆 Thank you to @FuturesmartC
Last night Sixth Form pupils enjoyed the first of the ‘Launch’ careers talk series: Finance and Wealth Management. We thank Hilton Nathanson, James Campbell-Gray and Peter Michaelis who were so generous with their time and advice, it was a hugely valuable evening.
