Parent Career Talks Room 14

7th Jun 2026

One day in January a discussion began about what jobs the children might like to do when they grow up. The children started discussing what jobs their parents have and we decided it might be nice to invite them in to share a little about what they do and how they trained for their job. We were blown away by the response and couldn't believe so many parents were happy to come in. 

We have learnt so much and listening to the different parents has made us realise the importance of working hard in school, following the rules and that the road to your dream job might be windy but that you should follow your dreams. 

A huge thanks to everyone for sharing your time and expertise so generously with us.
