On Wednesday 28 January two of our ambassadors, Rosie and Jamie spent a
day at
The aim was to provide the students with an overview of their
options post-school, with a focus on apprenticeships.
The ambassadors filled each hour-long session with team-building
exercises and educational games, designed to get everyone thinking about
different learning styles and how they connect with different aspects of
college, sixth form, university and apprenticeships.
Rosie, Apprentice Ambassador and Cultural Apprentice, said: “On the whole
the students were really engaged and we had lots of interesting discussions
about what life is like after school.

“One emerging theme in these sessions is that it’s very important to be
able to chat with the students in small groups, as that seems to be how they
are most comfortable talking about their aspirations, and taking advice."
This was the ambassadors first time working with this age group, and the
general response was very encouraging. The students now have an understanding
about how an apprenticeship could suit their learning style, without already
being totally fixed on following the crowds to college or university.
Good work team and thanks to Varndean School for having us.
