Futures Fair Success

Last night, we were thrilled to host our Futures Fair, an inspiring and busy event that brought together top-tier universities, colleges, businesses and the armed forces under one roof. It was heartening to see our students engaging with such confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm as they explored the diverse opportunities for their futures.

We were particularly proud to welcome back many of our alumni, now excelling in their fields, who represented their organisations with pride. Their journeys continue to inspire our current students and embody the lifelong connections we hope to have with all our alumni. 

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the cold to join us. Your contributions made the evening energising. From insightful conversations to meaningful guidance, the event confirmed our pride in educating our students for the world of tomorrow. 

We’re excited to catch up with our students in the coming days to hear what they’ve learned and how this experience has shaped their aspirations.
