Students in Year 12 enjoyed a very positive and inspiring visit to the National Apprenticeship Fair at Sandown Park Racecourse in Esher, Surrey today. During the event, they explored a wide range of interactive stalls, many of which offered hands-on STEM activities and insights into civil engineering, construction, digital technologies, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing. The fair provided an excellent opportunity for students to speak directly with apprenticeship providers, employers, and training organisations about post-18 pathways. They were able to ask detailed questions about entry requirements, career progression, and the practical realities of different industries. It was fantastic to see our students engaging confidently, showing curiosity, and taking real ownership of their future career plans. The experience has given many of them a clearer understanding of the diverse and exciting opportunities available through apprenticeships. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

What a fantastic afternoon at Kingsham Primary School preparing our Year 3 and 4 students for the Key Steps Gymnastics competition tomorrow, which we are very proud to be hosting. The hall was full of energy as the children worked hard to refine their routines, practise key skills and build their confidence ahead of the big day. It was brilliant to see their focus, determination and teamwork on display as they supported one another and rose to the challenge. We were incredibly fortunate to be supported by Gabi, one of our amazing sports ambassadors, who was joined by Grace and Ellie. All three were absolutely outstanding - demonstrating routines, sharing their expertise and encouraging every child to believe in themselves. Their enthusiasm and guidance made a real difference, and the children learned so much from the experience. We can’t wait to see them shine in tomorrow’s competition! #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Forest School has been very muddy, with plenty of puddles for the students to enjoy splashing through on their way to the farm. At the farm, the students had the opportunity to see and handle some of the new lambs from the Southdown sheep. They are a very cute breed with distinctive, interesting faces, and the students were excited to meet them. In the barn, we also saw some of the first lambs from the Leicester cross sheep, although many of them were still too young to be handled at this stage. The students found the experience fascinating and most took turns holding or gently stroking the lambs. From the sheep, we then visited the Saddleback pigs, which were around six weeks old. After our time at the farm, we returned to the club area where the students enjoyed a wide range of activities, along with food and hot chocolate to warm up after a muddy and enjoyable session. #WeTHRIVEatCHS Goodwood Education Trust
