Year Six
Aspirations Event
At NMPS we believe that every single one of our children are capable of being ANYTHING they aspire to. Throughout the year our UKS2 children have had the opportunity to learn about a variety of careers. They have been visited by lots of different professionals including the fire service. During the Summer term, Year 6 had an information packed afternoon when lots of external visitors came and spoke to them about their careers.
