Our recent Careers Fayre was a shining example of what happens when education meets opportunity. Held in the heart of High Grange School, the event brought together students from all key stages for a day filled with ambition, discovery, and excitement.

 A Showcase of Industry and Education

We were proud to host an incredible line-up of organisations, including:

• -British Army
• -Police Service (with a dedicated Cyber Crime Officer)
• -STEM Venturie
• -JCB
• -Crowdstrike (Cybersecurity)
• -Keele University – Forensic Department
• -Derby University
• -Farming and Haulage Specialists
• -Rushcliffe Care

Each exhibitor brought a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm, offering students hands-on activities, Q&A sessions, and career insights tailored to their interests and learning needs.

 Supporting Our Pupils Every Step of the Way

What made the event truly special was the incredible support shown by all the visiting organisations. Representatives were not only knowledgeable but also patient, engaging, and deeply encouraging—ensuring that every student, regardless of ability or background, was given time, attention, and a voice.

All students across KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4, and KS5 attended the event throughout the day. It was fantastic to see pupils asking questions, collecting resources, and genuinely engaging in thoughtful discussions with professionals.

A particularly proud moment was welcoming a visiting SEN school, who brought along a group of students. Thanks to the warm, inclusive atmosphere created by our school, these pupils had a rich and empowering experience.

 Inspiring Futures at High Grange

The Careers Fayre has cemented High Grange’s ambition of careers excellence, where every student is empowered to dream big and plan boldly. The event was more than a success—it was a celebration of potential, and a testament to what can be achieved when students, staff, and industry come together.

We thank all our visitors and look forward to even more exciting opportunities in the future!
