They got stuck into a range of practical activities too \u2013 examining a veterinary training cow, taking on an army\u2011style physical challenge, trying plumbing and construction tasks, and learning new skills in the medical and healthcare zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the day, students spoke with people working in different industries, picked up advice about apprenticeships and further education, and discovered career ideas they hadn\u2019t considered before. Many left feeling inspired and more confident about their next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Events like this are incredibly useful for students, giving them the chance to explore real\u2011world options in an engaging and meaningful way. Seeing different careers up close and being able to ask questions directly to the people doing the jobs helps them make more informed choices about future study routes and the paths they may want to follow after Year 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a great chance for Year 10 to explore life beyond the classroom, and they represented the school brilliantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-30f433595449dac3b37b4ff4e5325f19\" style=\"color:#c1002b\"><strong>Highlights from the Trip<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" data-id=\"18015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-1-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" data-id=\"18016\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18016\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-7.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-7-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" data-id=\"18017\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-4.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-4-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" data-id=\"18018\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-2.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-2-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" data-id=\"18019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-6.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-6-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" data-id=\"18020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-3.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bridgnorthendowed.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/skills-26-3-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Year 10 students enjoyed an inspiring and interactive day at the Telford Skills Show 2026, exploring all kinds of career pathways and hands\u2011on activities at the Telford International Centre last Thursday.
