Our Future Aspirations (Careers)

At Ryedene Primary and Nursery School, we are committed to inspiring our pupils to become lifelong learners and to have high aspirations for themselves. We believe that every child in our community can be whatever they set their minds to and strive to give them the best possible start in their future career journeys. Our School Values underpin this belief and are at the heart of our commitment to our pupils.

To support this, we hold an annual 'Careers Week' in the Summer Term. We are lucky enough to have a wealth of family and friends of the Ryedene School community visit us to talk to the children about their careers, as well as other local businesses. This gives the pupils a far greater insight into the world of employment and the possibilities available to them. Amongst our visitors, we have had: a vet, a florist, nurses, a local councillor, a Youtube influencer, a beautician, Southend United FC staff, a train driver as well as a host of others. The children always end the week with a dress-up day where they could share their hopes and dreams for the future careers.
