We are delighted to invite you to our joint Careers Fair, Year 9 Options Evening and Sixth Form Open Evening for this academic year 2024/ 2025. Our annual Careers Fair is always a substantial event with a large number of exhibitors from Higher and Further Education, employers and training providers which you can see in the attachment at the bottom of the page.

Our aim is to raise the aspirations of our students by allowing them to experience and explore, increasing their awareness of the employment and education opportunities available to them.

The evening will be open to all students, parents and carers, but primarily the focus will be post 16/18 and GCSE options for Year 9 students. We have combined a number of our usual information evenings into one event.

• Our own Sixth Form Information Evening for Y11 students, all departments will be represented in the library and will be happy to speak to students and parents regarding our offer at Co-op Academy Bebington. Our Director of Sixth form, Mr Johns, will also hold talks in SP2 at 5:15pm and 6:15pm where you will hear about our universal offer.

• Post 16 Information for our Y11 students - Come along and speak with our sixth form staff and staff from other post 16 providers, including those offering a range of post 16 courses and options; such as A’ levels, Vocational qualifications, T-Levels, Apprenticeships and Traineeships. This event is for ALL Y11, not just those returning to the school sixth form.

• GCSE and future choices for our Y9 students who will be in the process of choosing their GCSE subjects in the spring term of 2025, all departments will be represented in our main Assembly Hall and will be happy to speak to students and parents regarding our offer at Co-op Academy Bebington. Miss Jennings will be holding a talk in the dance studio at 6.00pm explaining how the options process works.

• Post 18 Information for our Y12 & 13 students - Come along and speak with staff from Further and Higher Education, offering a range of post 18 courses, alongside Employers and Apprenticeship providers.

We do hope you can join us at this event, it will give you the opportunity as parents/carers to gather information and advice on what local, regional and national employers can offer. It will also allow students to talk to our staff about their next steps whether that be at GCSE, A level or through Vocational Qualifications.
