Future Forward: A Live Workshop Inspiring Year 9 Students

Year 9 students recently took part in an engaging and thought-provoking live workshop, ‘Future Forward’, delivered by actors from Performance in Education.

The interactive performance aimed to provide valuable insights into post-16 education pathways, helping students make informed decisions about their future.

The production explored key topics such as BTECs, T Levels, and A Levels, explaining how different qualifications can be combined and addressing common misconceptions—such as the idea that A Levels are the only route to university. Students also learned about apprenticeships and the variety of options available, including practical-based courses and more traditional classroom-based subjects.

Through interactive discussions and real-life scenarios, students were encouraged to think not only about their future education choices but also about their long-term career aspirations. By understanding the different pathways available, they gained a clearer picture of how their choices now can shape their future careers and opportunities.

A big thank you to Performance in Education for delivering such an insightful and inspiring session—helping our students take their next steps with confidence!
