CORAM HOUSE Career guidance and business enterprise

For the first time in the history of Coram House, our Year 6 pupils have embarked on a career guidance programme. Although this is only statutory from Year 7 upwards, I wanted our Year 6 pupils to benefit from this.

Andrew Johnson launched this programme in style. A captivated audience learned about his career path.

Here is what our Year 6 pupils had to say:

What have you learnt from this?

• What you do in school doesn’t determine what job you have

• You can always change career

• You can be anything you want if you put your mind to it

• Keep trying even if you fail

• Things don’t always go your way

• What you choose as a career doesn’t define you

• Careers don’t always go as planned

• Go after what you want to do

• It’s never too late to start something

What life skills did you learn?

• You get to meet lots of people

• How to look inside of yourself and see your passion
