Work experience success with Fairbrother

Two of our Year 10 students, Freya Dickman and Bree Scott, recently completed a work experience placement with Fairbrother, gaining valuable hands‑on insight into the construction industry. They loved every minute of their placement and described the experience as "outstanding". 

Most importantly, the opportunity helped them see that a career in the trades is absolutely something they can aspire to as young women. 

We are grateful toFairbrother for providing such a welcoming and inspiring experience!
