As part of their career experience, year 10 had the opportunity to visit the Great Yorkshire Show last Friday. With nearly 200 pupils attending, they had a great time, and conducted themselves in a manner that made staff proud to see how well they engaged with the public and businesses at the show. With 140,000 people visiting the event over four days, students could start to comprehend the sheer size and breadth of the agricultural industry on their doorstep. An industry that they can be a part of when they leave us next year. (31) Day 4 Highlights of the Great Yorkshire Show 2024 - YouTube
