National Apprenticeship Week 2025
We're excited to be taking part in National Apprenticeship Week 2025. This is a chance for students and parents to learn more about apprenticeships and opportunities available to young people.
We'll have a number of events happening across the school to let students know more about apprenticeships and opportunities available to them -- including employer pop-ups during lunchtime, guest speakers and more. We regularly invite visitors to the school to meet with students, allowing them to ask questions to employers and current apprentices.
To learn more about National Apprenticeship Week, visit the Amazing Apprenticeships Student Zone.
Doing my apprenticeship was one of the best financial, social and professional choices I have made to date.

During the 60-minute video, you’ll hear from Sarah Blundell and Andy Lavelle, leaders of the NHS Data and Analytics Academy. They share valuable insights on the impactful and rewarding data careers within the NHS. You will also meet current data apprentices and learn from our apprenticeship and recruitment experts.
