Year 7 Careers Interviews

As part of our commitment to supporting every student’s future journey, our Year 7 Excellence Academy students recently took part in their first individual careers interviews. Miss Hope, Mrs Soulsby, and Mrs Satterthwaite-Shuttleworth met with each student to find out more about their interests, aspirations, and early ideas about the future.

These conversations gave us valuable insight into our students as individuals from those who already have a clear idea of their dream career, to those who are still exploring different possibilities. Importantly, we reassured them that not knowing yet is absolutely okay, just as having a set plan is perfectly fine too. At Heath Park, our role is to guide, encourage, and support them on their unique pathways, wherever those may lead.

It was inspiring to see how thoughtful and ambitious our Year 7s are, even at this early stage. Some spoke with passion about careers in medicine, engineering, teaching, or creative industries, while others shared hobbies and talents that could open exciting doors in the future. By having these conversations early, we aim to build their confidence, broaden their horizons, and make sure every student knows that their ambitions are valued and achievable.

We are incredibly proud of how our Year 7 students engaged with this opportunity, and we look forward to supporting them as they continue to grow, explore, and discover the futures that are right for them.
