This term has been an inspiring one for careers education at Gordano School, with students taking part in a wide range of events designed to broaden their horizons, deepen their understanding of different industries, and help them consider their next steps. From veterinary science to engineering and car sales, plus our large-scale Year 10 Mock Interview Day, students have engaged enthusiastically with the professionals who generously shared their time and expertise. Here’s a look back at some of the highlights.
This term, our Year 11 History students had the exciting opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Elizabethan England through a carefully planned visit to London. The purpose of this trip was to deepen students’ understanding of society, culture, and, in particular, the theatre of the Elizabethan era—an essential element of their AQA GCSE History course.
As part of Gordano’s Aspire Programme, designed to encourage students to unlock their potential and shine in areas linked to future pathways and real-world industries, the school was excited to host its very first Inter‑House Hairstylist of the Year Competition. With hairdressing continuing to be a popular post‑16 destination for many Gordano students, this new event offered the perfect opportunity to celebrate creativity, technical skill and career aspirations.
Students at Gordano School recently had the opportunity to experience something new and challenging; A group of Year 11 pupils took part in a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) session hosted by Portishead Grappling School, strengthening an ongoing partnership aimed at broadening the curriculum and enriching student experiences.
