A civil engineer gave a talk on her industry to our Year 8 students.

Tanya Preston took time out of her busy schedule working for Northamptonshire County Council’s highways team to meet our students this term.

Design and Technology teacher Nigel Barrett said: “Tanya talked to the students about what a civil engineer does.

“She also spoke about the differences between apprenticeships and degrees. The talk was timed excellently for our Year 8 students who are considering their Options.

“One of the most important things we do is to give our students the chance to listen to professionals speaking about their industries. It makes what our students are learning here seem more real.

“We would like to thank Tanya for coming in to see us.”
