Students and staff showcase talents for National Skills Day

Students and staff showcased their hidden talents as part of celebrations to mark National Skills Day.

Amazing artwork, sign language, sports trick shots, singing, mechanics, carpentry and fitness were among the skills showcased.

Students from all Year groups and staff from every department were invited to submit a 20-second video showcasing their skills as part of the event, which was organised in response to the coronavirus pandemic by the organisation responsible for National Careers Week.

Mr P Rose, Assistant Headteacher and Careers Leader, said: “Highfields supported National Skills Day by encouraging students and staff to record a short video highlighting their amazing talents.

“The event was organised in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as unfortunately a number of careers events have had to be cancelled this year.

“It has been a great opportunity for everyone to share their skills and stay connected to everyone at Highfields at this time.

“We had so many brilliant videos submitted. Well done all!”
