It's always inspiring for our students to discover the exciting career paths waiting for them after life at #QPHSChester We were delighted to welcome Sally (Mrs Catton's daughter) who spoke to our Year 9s all about apprenticeships & her own journey to becoming a Payroll Apprentice.
She gave brilliant insights into how apprenticeships work, the skills she's gaining, & why this route was the perfect fit for her. Our students loved hearing reallife experiences from someone who was once in their shoes!
Thank you Sally for such an engaging & motivating talk during National Apprenticeship Week! #NAW #futures #pathways #options #NationalApprenticeshipWeek We have grandmasters in the making!
Our brilliant Year 8 masterminds have spent the morning putting their strategic skills to the test at the Chester Schools Together #Chess Tournament hosted by bishopschester Huge congratulations to Riley B, who delivered an outstanding performance & finished as runnerup only losing in his semifinal to the eventual winner!
