Aspirations Week is a key component of our inspiring Old Hall Curriculum. The aim of the week is to enable pupils to identify how their unique talents and interests can be explored in their future careers. 

Over the course of the week, we were delighted to offer pupils a number of different workshop activities, speaker presentations and visits from local businesses to instil high aspirations within our children. The children learnt about a wide range of inspiring jobs, careers and industries, some of which they have expressed an interest in learning more about.

A key objective of our Aspirations Week is to promote equality and inclusion; some of our visitors inspired pupils with experiences of how they have succeeded in their chosen field despite not gaining the highest grades at school. This helped emphasise the importance of developing a range of impressive personal skills in addition to academic talents - teamwork, resilience, collaboration, adaptability and communication skills will be highlighted by many of our collaborators as key skills in the workplace.
