Join our professional networks

We have set up professional networks for a range of career areas which allow you to connect, gain knowledge and share advice with others working in the same area.

Professional guidance events

We have a number of Professional Guidance events including our Harvey Hall talks series in which highly successful members of the St Swithun's community deliver talks at the school. Most recently Dame Emma Walmsley, CEO of GlaxoSmithKline and former student, returned to St Swithun's to talk about her career and inspire our current students.

We also do a range of Careers Speed Networking events in which we invite members of the school community to talk about their careers and inspire our current students.

We are always looking out for volunteers to share their careers experiences and attend our events. Take a look below to see what's coming up, and please do sign up if you're interested.
