Dear parents and families,
We are pleased to share with you details of a new programme we are introducing called ‘Coffee, Cake and a Slice of Career Conversations’. You will be invited to come into school on 21st January 2026 at 2:30pm for an informal chat with local career specialists – Complete-Careers. The session will only be 30-45 minutes in total. They will help you feel more confident in having conversations with your child about their future to help support children’s hope and aspirations for the future, making them aware of thousands of possibilities for them. Come and join us for a cuppa and something sweet and find out a little more. Any parent/family attending will get a FREE copy of ‘Bonkers Book of Jobs’ Bonkers Book of Jobs, The (New Edition) by Mark Wilkinson, John Ambrose | Waterstones
For more information contact admin@complete-careers.com
Best wishes John Ambrose Director Complete-Careers LLP |
