Routes & Pathways at Holland Park School
Thu 20 Nov 2025 | 9 a.m. - 10 a.m.
Guests are asked to arrive at 8.30 for coffee and pastries before a 9a.m. start. Guests will sit with pods of 5 students at a time for about 5 minutes explaining what they do, how they got there and a bit about their company. A bell will ring and guests move to the next pod of students. The idea is to inspire, motivate and raise aspirations while interacting with small groups of students throughout the morning. N.B. The event is longer than an hour but I cannot add that via this platform.
Timings: 8.30 - 9.a.m. Coffees and pastries while being introduced to staff. 9-9.45a.m. Address pods of Year 10's 9.50 - 10.35a.m. Address pods of Year 11's 10.35 - 10.55a.m. Break 11a.m. - 11.45a.m. Address pods of Year 12's 11.45 - 12.35p.m. Address pods of Year 13's
Overall goals are to inform students so that they have enough information to make informed decisions about their futures; To create a routes and pathways event to inform and inspire young people considering the vast array of potential careers available to them. Showcase current job opportunities within your company or explaining the pathways that young people can take to obtain a job i.e. university, college, apprenticeship, or other employability schemes.
