From exploring exciting career opportunities to discovering the skills employers value most, our Kingsmeadow Careers Week events encourages students to think big, explore their ambitions and take their first steps towards shaping a successful future.

By learning about different industries, employers, qualifications and employment pathways, our students can broaden their horizons, discover new possibilities and make informed decisions about their next steps. Careers education also helps students understand how their learning in the classroom connects to the world of work and the importance of developing transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving and resilience.

During this, the first of six careers weeks during 2026-27, we ask students to complete the Future Skills Questionnaire, and this allows them reflect on their individual strengths, interests and abilities, while identifying the skills they may need to develop to thrive in an ever-changing workplace.

By raising aspirations, challenging stereotypes and showcasing the many different routes to success, we aim to ensure every student can recognise their potential and feel confident exploring the opportunities available to them.

At Kingsmeadow, we want every student to leave school equipped with the knowledge, skills and ambition to pursue their goals and turn their aspirations into reality.

Careers Week at Kingsmeadow takes place six times a year.
