Year 10 students welcomed the team from GI Media as part of National Careers Week.
The session focused on recognising that every student is amazing, unique and full of potential, while exploring different future career pathways and opportunities. Students also discussed how Artificial Intelligence is likely to shape the future world of work and the importance of staying curious, adaptable and open to learning new skills.
A simple but powerful activity using grains of rice - each representing one Year 10 student - highlighted just how much potential there is within the room.
It was fantastic to see students engaged in such thoughtful conversations about their futures!
Today’s visit from Will Crumbie, CEO of FatFace, clearly made an impact. Our Headteacher Mr Kutty shared:
“It’s always a pleasure to welcome my friend Will back to Cantell. I’m constantly amazed that despite his incredibly busy schedule, he still finds the time to come and speak with our students each year. We are truly grateful that Will shares our passion for making a difference in the future lives of young people.
GREAT people truly make GREAT things happen!
Thank you, Will."

A great start to Day 2 of National Careers Week at Cantell! ☀️
This morning, our Year 8 students had the exciting opportunity to welcome Will Crumbie , CEO of FatFace.
Will shared insights into the journey of FatFace, the work behind the brand and the many career opportunities within the company, including apprenticeships and different pathways into the industry. Students also gained valuable insight into different career journeys and what it takes to succeed in the world of business.
Students were also given an exciting opportunity - by following Will’s instructions, some of them will have the chance to win tickets to see London Pulse Netball in London, supported by FatFace. What an amazing opportunity!

🚢 Have you ever wondered what life in the Royal Navy is really like?
Our Year 7 and Year 9 students had the chance to find out during an inspiring Breaking the Mould session with the Royal Navy
Students heard directly from Navy personnel about their career journeys, the skills needed to succeed and the wide range of opportunities available in the Royal Navy. The session encouraged students to challenge stereotypes, think ambitiously about their futures and explore pathways they may not have previously considered.
We are grateful to the Royal Navy team for taking the time to inspire the next generation!
