Last week we attended a Creative CafĂ© held at Saxon Mount School. The idea behind the cafĂ© is to get school-age children thinking about employment & to give them a small taste of what having a job is like. The focus was on the pupilâs strengths & skills. They were asked to answer questions like âwhatâs the point of this task?â & âwhat skills do I need to do this job?â. It was great to see all the children getting involved & starting to think about the choices they have when they leave school. It wasnât all work, there were crafts & cakes too!!
