It gave them a real insight into a huge range of jobs and has definitely inspired students in their future career choices. On behalf of myself and the students I would like to thank all the volunteer speakers for giving us their time and expertise!”

Head of Secondary, Garry Russell commented, “The inaugural Regents’ Careers Fair was a brilliant event. It was an opportunity for our students to meet members of the community who have succeeded in their particular field. The discussions allowed the students to better understand the sorts of skills and experience they need to become the very best they can in their chosen career choice. The Fair is part of a full programme of careers advice that our students have access to at Regents.”
