9th February 2024 - London Fire Brigade Key Stage 4 Visit
KS4 Students attended an employer encounter today with the London Fire Brigade. Several firefighters presented the session which aimed to provide information to young people about what it is like working as a firefighter and included: skills and attributes needed, employability and expectations, working conditions/salaries etc, and routes into the industry. Also discussed was the reality, emotion and achievement that comes with the role.
The students then went on to explore the appliance; how all the different equipment works, the tools, uniform and breathing equipment etc. This was both a formative and hands on experience; Q & A session followed.
