Year 8 Explore “Who Am I & What Could I Be?”

Yesterday, our Year 8 students took part in an assembly led by Chloe Parkes, Outreach Officer from the University of East Anglia (UEA), accompanied by a student ambassador. The session, titled “Who Am I & What Could I Be?”, encouraged students to reflect on who they are, their strengths, and their aspirations for the future.

The students were introduced to the key decision-making and transition points they’ll encounter in the coming years including their GCSE options, and choices they’ll make post-16 and post-18.

Chloe and the student ambassador then worked with a small group of Year 8s in a workshop, during which the students explored their interests, skills, and what their perfect day might look like, before learning more about university life and the opportunities that higher education can offer.

It was a thought-provoking and enjoyable session that helped our students to start thinking about their futures.
