Millfield Futures Day
Millfield hosted a highly successful Futures Day for our Year 9 students. Throughout the day, pupils took part in a carousel of short, interactive sessions with a wide range of employers, education providers, alumni and governors.
These included representatives from the NHS, Police, Lancaster University, Blackpool Sixth Form, Blackpool and The Fylde College, apprenticeship providers, professional sport and fitness, architecture, local industry and public services. Students rotated around different venues across the school, giving them valuable insight into diverse career pathways, post‑16 options and the skills required for the workplace.
The day concluded with a whole‑year assembly in the Hall, where students heard presentations on sixth form education, T‑Levels, apprenticeships, subject options and future planning, helping them link their current choices to longer‑term goals. Futures Day plays a key role in supporting our careers programme by raising aspirations, broadening horizons and enabling students to ask questions directly to professionals. We are extremely grateful to our visiting speakers, governors and staff who made the day both informative and inspiring for our students.
