Our Wessex family of schools

biggest ever careers fair

On Wednesday 22nd January, The Purbeck School held their biggest ever careers fair

with over 65 employers, universities and colleges.

We had visits from the National Horseracing college, British Army, Sunseeker through to Wessex Water. Our students spent the previous week preparing for the fair; learning about the different exhibitors; understanding how to approach employers and what questions to ask. During their extended tutor time after the Careers Fair, students were encouraged to reflect on the event with their tutor groups and discuss the different experiences with the employers they visited.

It was a truly fantastic event which took over the entirety of The Purbeck Hall and our 6th form centre. It has to be said how absolutely fantastic our students were; all year groups fully immersed themselves in this experience and it was brilliant to see and hear the conversations being held. The employers, who visited us, were exceptionally complimentary about the maturity of our students and were genuinely amazed at the level of interest shown by them.
