This article on the BBC has a league table in it of a survey into how happy people are in their jobs. It’s not about the money – well sort of. Be a farmer or a vicar and be happy. Be an architect or a pub landlord and be miserable…
Have a look here:
Two events are coming up for students who are interested in careers in these fields.
The October 15th Compose Your Future event in London is now in its 10th year. This buzzing and interactive convention is the perfect platform to speak directly with students and teachers specifically interested in performing arts, television, music and drama. Visitors are engaged and enthusiastic about studying in these areas and are ready to speak to people who can help them in their development.
The Design Your Future event on the 12th and 13th November is for students interested in studying art, design, media, fashion, architecture, ceramics, photography and much more.
No assembly this week.
Please do note the taster days post below this one. For reasons we don’t really understand external links are proving difficult again at the moment from wordpress. If you are interested in any of the courses you can get the information / apply by typing the following into Google –
This is your first reminder about the forthcoming Higher Education Conference. This will be on Tuesday 25th March at the Rivermead Centre. You can find directions to it here. The school day will end after period 3, and you need to make your own way there and back. The number 17 bus would appear to be the easiest way, but please come and see me if you need any help with this.
Our slot is from 2.00 to 3.30 (You need to be there for 1.55). There will be;
Mrs Bullion and myself will be there with the school mobile if you need us. We have packs for you which will answer your other questions. These will be available from Thursday break from the office. If you want to go, but have not filled the forms in, then please see Mrs Bullion or Mrs Bell in the next 48 hours.
This afternoon really is a helpful first step towards planning a university application. I hope that it is constructive.
Have a good week, and keep going.

Mr Kydd.
This week’s edition of Question Time can be found here.
Mr Kydd.
This week in the bulletin there is information on the speakers who are visiting LHS next week, along with various career based trips being organised. There is also information on a Careers event for Year 12 students hoping to go to Uni along with apprenticeship information at all levels , please click here
I have also attached here a list of current local apprenticeship vacancies which were advertised this week on the National Apprenticeship website.
If you are interested in working abroad as an intern or volunteer, you might want to have a look at this organisation: BUNAC
They have placements in countries such as the USA, New Zealand, Nepal, China and Canada.
Whilst the good weather at last is of course so needed, please please please do not let it turn your head from the reality that we are now 7 school weeks from study leave. Stay focused on the work that you know you need to do.
A few things for the week ahead.
Have a good week,
Mr Kydd.
