As part of our commitment to personal development through the Woodhey Pledge, we hosted our first-ever Post-16 Careers Event — a milestone moment for our Year 9, Year 10, and Year 11 students.

Held in the Frank Bennett Hall throughout the school day, the event gave our students the invaluable opportunity to engage directly with a wide range of post-16 education and training providers, helping them explore future career paths and make informed decisions about their next steps.

From creative industries and digital technologies to sports academies and higher education, students were able to ask questions, gather resources, and gain insights into the diverse opportunities available to them after Year 11.
