Thank you for agreeing to provide a workshop for this event. Please find essential logistical details below.
Times for the day:
8.30am Our staff and student ambassadors are available to help unload and direct you to the allocated rooms.
8.50 to 9.10 Yr 10 students arrive, register and receive welcome talk.
9.10 to 2.40 (individual timings TBC) Students attend workshops on a round-robin. Providers are allocated a room for the day. Each workshop will run for 40 mins. Please do a 5 to 10 minute starter activity, a main fun and interactive activity, and close with a 5 to 10 minute career-focused plenary, during which students will need to fill in 3 things that they have learnt, 3 careers that the activities could lead to, and whether they are interested in this careers area into their programmes – please guide them with this. The maximum size of each group is 18x Yr 10s (waiting for schools to confirm numbers). Each group will be from mixed schools, and there will be one adult to accompany each group who may not know the individuals as they might be from a different school. Students will be in their own clothes and will have name stickers with coloured dots to identify which school, whether they have a medical alert, and if we don’t have photo permission.
A break of 10 to 15 minutes is scheduled during mid-morning.
Free lunch for workshop providers only will be provided at our cafe on the lower ground floor during a 40 minute break. Please inform us of any nutritional requirements. Drinks can be collected from the cafe during the day. HOt water is available from the staff room on the second floor – please ask a student.
2.40 to 3.0pm Students will attend a close and evaluation session in the theatre. During this, they will complete the activities in their programme, choosing one career path that they are particularly interested in, and they will have to find out which degree or apprenticeship they need, and which A-levels to achieve a successful application. This time can be used by you to finish setting up your stands for the fair- our student ambassadors will be available to help.
