Marsden Heights' very own 'Lord Sugar' welcomed pupils aspiring to be an Apprentice for a day, in celebration of National Apprenticeship Week.

Pupils in Year 7, 8 and 9 were invited to apply for a variety of apprentice roles, offering them a chance to work alongside staff for a day.   

We had our highest number of applications to date - an incredible 145 were submitted by pupils! Careers Lead Mrs Ross and Principal Mr Delve announcing the names of the twenty successful pupils.

Mr Delve praised the apprentices:

“You all wrote something in your apprentice application that made you stand out – we’re really proud of you.”

On 11^th February, staff were joined by apprentices across different departments, including Careers, the Library, ICT, Youthwork, Pupil Support, a PA to Principal, and more.

The day was a resounding success with pupils shadowing staff, experiencing the world of work and enhancing their employability skills. The pupils made the most of the opportunity and thoroughly enjoyed their day.

Mrs Ross, Careers Lead said:

“Thank you to all the staff who supported our apprentices, you did an outstanding job of giving them an insight into your job roles and allowing them to gain work experience within our school.”
