Highfields School Career Fair 2023
We are holding our first Career Fair at Highfields School in 5 years and we’re keen to get as many employers involved as possible. The event is taking place on 21 November between 1.45pm and 5.45pm and we’d love to hear if this is something you are able to support with! It will be held at our upper site (Upper Lumsdale, Matlock, Derbyshire, DE4 5NA).
All visitors will have a ‘stall’ set up with table and chairs. We have a limited number of display boards available so would encourage you to bring any pop-up signage you have. The event is mainly aimed at our GCSE and A Level groups but we are inviting parents and students from all year groups to have a look around if they wish.
If you wish to confirm your attendance or have any questions, please contact Kerry Bromwich on 01629 581888 or by email careers@highfields.derbyshire.sch.uk
If you are a parent and wish to come along, please feel free to do so after 4pm.
Careers Advice
We have an experienced independent careers advisor who provides students with the advice they require. Students are given individual help at each stage, from choosing their subjects in Year 9 to post-school destinations. Guidance and help are provided by the Careers Advisor, Careers Coordinator, Personal Tutors, Heads of Year and Work Experience Department. The Careers Advisor works with school to ensure that every young person receives a level of support according to his or her needs. This includes guiding students as they move on to college or apprenticeships and giving advice and help to students who are facing difficulties with decision making, whether about personal choices or future careers. We hope that parents will also be closely involved in this process.
