Many thanks to all the businesses and education providers who helped make today’s Careers Fair such a huge success. Our Year 9, 10 and 11 students have found it incredibly powerful. Thanks also to our Y7 helpers who looked after our visitors throughout the morning.

The home secretary is responsible for this mess. Divisive politics, hateful rhetoric never wins. We must stand united against hate. Wishing everyone a peaceful day x
