Women in Construction
During National Careers Week, students visited the 'Women in Construction' event at Kirklees College Brunel Centre.
The students had the opportunity to explore a range of construction-related careers through four hands‑on workshops, talks, and activities delivered by industry professionals and college staff. This event was a fantastic chance to experience real construction-based activities and learn more about pathways into the industry.
Scholars Experience a Day at Durham University
Our Scholars recently enjoyed an inspiring and memorable visit to Durham University, giving them valuable insight into university life.
Students took part in a guided college tour and a thought-provoking session titled 'The Game of University Life', where they had the chance to hear first-hand about student life, accommodation and the unique collegiate system that makes Durham such a distinctive university.
In the afternoon, students were treated to a tour of Durham Cathedral and a viewing of Shakespeare's First Folio, held in the cathedral library.
Adding to this
unique experience, students also worked with a PhD researcher on a virtual reality game being developed for use in history lessons, demonstrating how cutting-edge technology is being used to bring the past to life.
The visit concluded with a wider campus tour, leaving students inspired, enthusiastic and already thinking about their future pathways.
What Pupils Said
"Visiting Durham University helped me learn about different communities, and I even got to see Shakespeare's very first book! It was an experience I'll never forget."
"Visiting Durham University helped me realise that university could be for me. I loved the smaller colleges because they felt welcoming and friendly, like a family."
