Flying High with Aspirations: Our Aviation Zoom with Primary Futures ✈️

Last week, our children had the exciting opportunity to take part in a special Zoom session, set up in partnership with the amazing team at Primary Futures. The aim? To spark curiosity, raise aspirations, and open young eyes to the wide world of work — and what better theme to start with than aviation!

We were thrilled to be joined by two real-life pilots and an aerospace engineer, who each shared their fascinating career journeys, talked about what their day-to-day roles involve, and answered some very thoughtful (and sometimes very funny!) questions from our curious students.

The children were wide-eyed as they learned about flying commercial planes, navigating through challenging weather, and even helping design and maintain aircraft. It was an inspiring session that really brought home the message: you can be anything you want to be with passion, perseverance, and a love of learning.

We’re so grateful to Primary Futures and our guest speakers for helping our children dream big. We can't wait to see where their imaginations — and ambitions — will take them next!
