Inspiring Futures: Aviation Careers Workshop for Year 5 and Year 6
Last week, we were delighted to welcome Stuie Ellerton, Director of SimFly Aviation Training, and his colleague into school to deliver an exciting aviation‑themed careers session for our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils. Stuie was once a pupil at St Bede’s himself, which made his journey even more relatable and inspiring for the children.
