Enrichment

Your Future, Your Path

These sessions are designed to equip young people in care from Year 10 to Year 13 with the knowledge and confidence to explore their post-16 options. Each term, we will host engaging events featuring guest speakers from Apprenticeships, Higher Education, the Armed Forces, and various employment sectors, alongside tailored support services designed to meet their needs. Our goal is to ensure every young person has access to valuable insights and the guidance they deserve, equipping them to make informed decisions about their future.

The sessions are typically held in the evening, as we are keen to avoid taking Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5 students out of school and to minimise any disruption to their learning.

Venue: The Council House, Earl Street, Coventry, CV1 5RR
Time: 5pm to 7.30pm

Dates for the 2026/27 academic year are yet to be confirmed. Please continue to check our website for the latest updates.
