Children in Years 5 and 6 visited booths run by parents and friends of the school who have a variety of interesting, enterprising and aspirational jobs.

Pupils spent the morning learning about the different job roles and asked lots of questions to help them understand how subjects they learn at school are helpful in the working world.

Miss Harper, event organiser and teacher, said: "Thank you to all the special visitors who gave up their time to ensure our children had a fantastic time at their Careers Fair. It was a wonderful, buzzing morning in school and we look forward to running it again in 2025".
