Dear Parents/Carers,

Longfield Academy is delighted to announce that we will be running a careers fair on Friday 13 January 2023, for our students in Years 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13. The event will see us welcome visitors from a wide range of organisations, including:

  • Local further and higher education provisions
  • Apprenticeships
  • Public service careers
  • Hair and beauty careers
  • Engineering and construction careers
  • Human resources careers
  • Local authority careers
  • Healthcare and emergency response careers

Plus others!

Students in year groups 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 will be escorted to the fair, held in our theatre, at a set time on the day. They will be out of one lesson for approximately 15-20 minutes. The lesson and timings will be advised by their class teacher on the day. Students in years 7 and 8 will be involved in other career events later on in the academic year.

I trust that you will join me in encouraging your child to engage with this exciting opportunity to get a flavour for the boundless opportunities in the world of work, and also to explore possible next steps into their future.

Yours faithfully,

Mr M. Lowe
Assistant Principal
