Year Five explore the world of STEM careers
As part of our valuable curriculum work, last Friday Year Five enjoyed a talk from two different individuals who worked in infrastructure and construction.
William Ford are now part of ‘Primary Futures: Building Future London’ – this programme the children understand the world of construction and infrastructure, the range of jobs available, and the link between learning and work. It challenges stereotypes and broaden horizons for pupils, showing that, whatever their background, they can access the amazing range of opportunities the sectors have to offer. The children heard from a chartered engineer, who has a significant role in the safety of cars, that works at Ford and a rail system engineer who designed the Transport for London’s central line! The questions asked by the pupils were thoughtful, and the volunteers commented on how well-behaved and insightful the children were!
