TGS Careers Day Wednesday 4 March 2026 - Afternoon sessions and Evening sessions. 

We are enormously grateful for the experience, expertise and time given by our alumni, parents carers, and friends of the School. The passion you have for your field of work undoubtedly inspires the post school pathways and futures of our young people, including considering jobs which don't exist yet. 

Careers Day 2026 will be a mix of one to ones and presentations during the school day afternoon, and early evening.

About the Careers Afternoon 2.30pm to 3.40pm

Last year was a huge success. We would like to offer a series of careers related presentations to Year 9 and to a wider cohort of students across the school. 

About the Careers Evening 5.30pm to 7.30pm (Years 10 and Sixth Form). 

Situated in the open plan Sixth Form building, up to fifty volunteers from a wide variety of careers chat informally with students one to one. 

Students are encouraged to talk to as many people as time allows, sparking imaginations and options for their own informed post school decisions and plans. The focus is not just on the student's next steps but rather to think longer term, and how that longer term thinking may steer shorter term goals and plans.

We ask our volunteers to come along ready to chat about: Who you are; what you do; your field of work; how you got to where you are now; what sparked your interest in the career you chose; anything you would change; advice about recruitment and apprenticeship opportunities in your sector. Outside work, what are your interests and passions, and have they influenced your career (and vice versa)?
