Careers & Futures Evening - 14 December 2023

Welling School Careers and Futures Evening - 14th December 2023

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am writing to let you know that we will be holding our inaugural Careers and Futures Evening for Year 9, 10,
11, 12 & 13 students on the 14th December 5.00pm - 7.00pm. This event is a key part of our strategy of
supporting our students in their college, university and career aspirations and aims to provide as much
information as possible about the future pathways available to them.

At the event approximately 20 colleges, universities and private and public sector organisations / employers
will be in school to speak to our students and offer advice regarding their field of expertise. Over the coming
weeks, we will be disseminating information to students about this event and students will undertake some
preparatory work during their tutor lessons, prior to the event, to ensure that they are fully prepared.

Therefore, we would like to invite Parents and Carers to attend the Careers and Futures Evening with their
child, as this will be an excellent opportunity for students to discuss career and educational aspirations with
exhibitors.

During the Careers and Futures Evening, parents/Carers and students will be given the opportunity of
attending 4 workshops with organisations and these can be selected via the Google form that I will be
sending out to you with this letter. On the google form please select one option from the sessions below. I
would really appreciate it if you could complete and return the Google form by Thursday 7th December.

We believe this event is a valuable opportunity to support our students in enabling them to make sensible
and informed decisions about their future. To maximise the impact of the event, we would encourage you to
have a conversation with your child both before and after the event to embolden them to start the process
of thinking about life after GCSEs, enabling us both to work together in tailoring effective careers information
and guidance to meet the needs of your child’s aspirations.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me on my email address jasminder.sanghera@wellingschool-tkat.org if you
would like further information.

Yours faithfully
