Careers Week

St Mary’s introduced a new initiative this year, as we invited a range of professionals, including some of our amazing parents, into the school to talk to the children about a wide range of interesting careers. Our visitors included doctors, an architect, a structural engineer, an artist and coder, a film producer, a gardener and taekwondo world champion and an author and Olympic sportswoman. The aim was to broaden the children’s horizons, to inspire them about the opportunities that await them and to learn about the journeys that our visitors had been on to meet their career goals. Ultimately, we want our children to know that with faith, perseverance and hard work, there is nothing that they can’t achieve.
