Last week, a group of Year 11 pupils went to Newhampton Arts Centre to visit a Careers Pop-Up Event ran by the WMVRP and Changemakers group at Wolverhampton City Council.  Pupils got to meet staff from West Midlands Police, West Midlands Ambulance Service, West Midlands Fire Service, as well as representatives from The Army, Wolverhampton College, Connexions and Changemakers.  

As part of the session, pupils were encouraged to engage in reflective activities for their next steps, and experience how technology is impacting on our day-to-day lives – you can see our pupils on a driving simulator and virtual reality headsets.  B Al Abdullah also got interviewed by an ex BBC journalist who was reporting on the event!

A great morning was had by all with great contacts made with regards to our options after GCSEs.
