Our event is open to all students attending Castle Manor Academy, from Year 6 to Year 10 (10-16 years old). To make our event unique and memorable for students in attendance, we are asking our exhibitors to have an interactive element to their stalls to showcase what you do in your roles. We have also planned for our event to allow enough time for you to network with fellow exhibitors, set up and ask any questions before our event begins.
