CAREERS & PATHWAYS FOR LHA FUTURES In this edition of our Beyond careers newsletter, I am delighted to share with you some stories from our LHA Alumni. It is always interesting to hear where students have moved on to after leaving LHA and the Alumni stories this time relate to 2021 leavers who have successfully made their way into the world beyond LHA. Also in this edition are some accounts from students in Yr 8 and 10 who took part in our recent ‘Take your child to work day’ in May. They had some amazing experiences so thank you to all the parents/carers who were able to support with this. As always, if you are able to help with any of our careers activities planned for 22/23 i.e. your career journey talks, careers fayre, mock interviews or speed networking, please do get in touch.

This visit to Lancashire Fire and rescue was extremely interesting, informative and very inspiring. It gave her a very valuable insight to various careers within the service. we are a learnlive careers Partner
take Your child to work daY at Fire station
One of our students had a fabulous day at Lancashire Fire and rescue Service. She spent part of her day at Headquarters and part at Fulwood Fire Station. Staff took time to speak to her and explain in depth about their job roles. At Headquarters, she spent some time working in the Intelligence/Information Management Department and looked at working on incidents.
Many different departments were visited in Headquarters and the last department she visited was the Media/Pr Department. This was again a very exciting department to speak to. They generally cover the larger fires in Lancashire, so their pagers can also go off in the middle of the night! Alongside dealing with major incidents they let people know of dangers via social media, advertising large scale recruitment for retained staff etc. They also get chance to interview famous people from time to time. Previous interviews they had done with were with Freddie Flintoff, Richard Hammond (Top Gear) and a few other famous people. They again made their roles sound very interesting and exciting.
During a tour around the fire station by four firefighters, it was clear how passionate the fire fighters were about their jobs. They took time to give her lots of information about all the areas in which Lancashire Fire and rescue help the communities. They explained they don’t just put fires out and told her about all the other rescues they do from water rescue, to helping the mountain rescue teams with drones etc. They then showed her around the fire engine, showed her all the equipment on board and even gave her the opportunity to try on a full fire kit and oxygen tank.
They then showed her around the Incident Command Unit which is taken to larger fires. It was interesting to see the equipment and Intelligence on board and how they would organise the firefighting and crews to ensure the best out comes at a large fire, while keeping everyone safe.

My name is Billy and I attended Lostock Hall Academy from 2016 to 2021. As I progressed through the education system I found myself gravitating towards subjects which involved a more practical aspect to them. This was reflected in out-of-school life where I grew up with an interest in how things work and function. When it came to deciding my GCSe options in Year 9, it was clear that Design Technology would be the subject for me. Choosing Design Technology as an option allowed me to further develop my interest in the process of how products are made and produced whilst also fuelling the more practical education side that I thoroughly enjoyed.
In my final year at Lostock Hall Academy, I determined that college didn’t interest me and I’d rather pursue a more practical form of education. This led to me applying for multiple apprenticeships in the engineering industry but the one I was most hopeful for was an apprenticeship with BAe Systems. After a rigorous interview process, I was contacted in June last year informing me that my application for a Level 4 engineering Technician was accepted. The engineering Technician role involves a combination of practical working as well as desk work. It is a four year apprenticeship in which I will be taught the necessary skills in order to work for BAE as well as a Level 3 BTEC in Engineering and a HNC in Engineering. I began my first year in October of last year working from home up till Christmas. This time period was used to educate us new apprentices on the company expectations and behaviours as well health and safety that is to be followed. We also received talks from various people in the company including people who were in their later years of the same role as me. They discussed the opportunities that have arisen as they progressed through their apprenticeship, including opportunities to work abroad, which made me even more enthusiastic to start work properly in January of this year. As well as working from home, they also organised a week away in December at an Outward Bound facility in the Lake District. This involved a series of activities in which we identified different skills that could be applied in the workplace. It was also a great opportunity to get to know the people we would be working with for the next few years. In January of this year we began working on site. My apprenticeship is based in the ASK training facility in Samlesbury for my first year. Here we complete different departments, gaining engineering skills and knowledge. These include working on electronic circuits, laying carbon fibre and designing parts digitally using CAD software. Alongside this there is one college day a week where we work towards achieving the Level 3 BTeC in engineering. My second year of the apprenticeship begins in October this year where we will go into placements around the business across both the Samlesbury and Warton Site. I am thoroughly enjoying my apprenticeship so far and I am very glad I chose to go down the apprenticeship route rather than the college route. I look forward to progressing through my apprenticeship and the opportunities it contains.

The second school I went to was called Kirkland & Catterall Primary School. It was also really enjoyable because the children were really nice to coach but some were a bit lively. I didn’t really mind that. During the day I coached two curriculum sessions. The first being year 2 and 3, who were learning basketball in P.e., during the lesson I led a warm up game of bib-tail bulldogs, then I got into some practices about basketball, after that I got them into some matches. I found this class was the most enjoyable to coach because they were really engaged in learning how to improve their skills in basketball.
On work experience day I went with my Mum to her hockey coaching business (Jer Coaching Academy) at two primary schools for the day. Whilst I was at the schools I was the coach. I planned out the sessions, I did the demonstrations, I helped the children who were struggling and I talked through the exercises. The first school I went to was called St. Andrews C of e Primary School and I went there in the morning to do a before school club. Whilst I was there I did a fun warm up game and then I refereed the games for the rest of the lesson. I really enjoyed being at that school because when I was talking the children listened and they were a lot of fun to coach. What surprised me about my role in that school was that it wasn’t as scary as I thought instead it was a lot of fun.
Overall I thought it was a really enjoyable day and it has opened another possible career of my liking.

The second session I coached was year 5 and 6, who were learning hockey in P.e., during the lesson I ran a warm up game of head, shoulders, ball, (I felt the children really enjoyed that game), then I got them doing some practices to improve their skills in hockey, finally I got them doing the four goal game. I found this class was less enjoyable than year 2 and 3 because they didn’t have the same amount of energy as the younger ones and only a few children wanted to learn and improve their skills in hockey.
https://www.training2000.co.uk/aspiring-clubs
Training 2000 offer a range of Aspiring Clubs which are aimed at giving year 10, 11 and 12 a taste of life as an apprentice. Whether you are an aspiring engineer, a budding accountant, business professional, dental nurse, automotive technician or interested in becoming an optician, they have lots of options available. Some of these are taking place in the school holidays and might be something you are able to support your child with. Should you need any support in booking any of the sessions, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Tucker.
Over lunchtime my Mum and I ran a hockey club on a section of the playground. I made a game up that they had to do in pairs and then we played a match in which I joined in, it was great fun picking up my stick again and playing!
For the work experience, I went back to my old school, Brindle Gregson Lane Primary School, and I had several jobs, but my main job was to supervise the children at break/lunch.
liBBY – Brindle gregson lane school
connor 2021 leaverrunshaw college
I supervised the children while they were eating their food and did some minor jobs like stacking chairs and wiping tables. I entertained the children outside by setting up games for them to play. I also played with the children once I had done my main duties. While I was there, I also learnt about keeping children safe while outside and the hazards that may be outside. One of the things I found most interesting was learning how to do simple first aid procedures.
Lostock Hall Academy has provided me with a strong foundation to build my knowledge and skills in this area. I am not sure that I would have made this career choice if it had not been for the support and guidance I received.
I found the whole experience of working in a school beneficial as I am considering teaching as a future career.
Since leaving Lostock Hall Academy, I have progressed to runshaw College to study for a BTeC extended Diploma in Sport. While at Lostock Hall Academy, I was inspired by Mr. Sloan to follow this career pathway as the lessons were fun, engaging, and informative. I achieved a Distinction Star in my BTeC Level 2 diploma at Lostock Hall Academy, and this really prepared me for the workload at runshaw College. It has taken a while to get used to college life as it is very different to secondary school. Firstly, there is no school uniform, and I only attend college 3 days a week. The other 2 days are allocated to self-directed study, and they like you to have a job related to the course you are studying. My course is broken up into specific units ranging from anatomy through to application of fitness testing and examining the principles of fitness. The entire course is focused around all my key areas of interest, which means I get to study subjects that I enjoy consistently. This has really allowed me to engage with the course, which has been enjoyable from the beginning. The work is based on continuous assessment and there is a lot of homework involved, but once you manage your time effectively, it is very straight forward. I am predicted to get a Distinction Star in my first year. I have also been lucky enough to have been nominated by my tutors at runshaw College for Student of the Year and I am attending an award ceremony to accept this honour. My plan is to progress on to year two of the extended Diploma in Sport and then start to look at university places. I want to undertake a BSc Honours degree in Sports Therapy either at edge Hill University or the University of Central Lancashire.

rory visited our Leyland yard where he spoke to a poling team (a poling team is made up of poling engineers who install and remove poles, carry out safe excavation works and replace overhead and underground cabling) and watched them load the poling wagon. This allowed rory to gain a better insight into their duties. He also went to a couple of our other sites to see what our teams do and learn about processes involved when on site. Our people told rory about Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT) and signal generators (Genny) which is undertaken before breaking ground. This helps teams identify any buried services they may come across and avoid striking cables. They also showed him the Telecom Division risk Assessment (TDrA) which is completed on an app. Jodie said: “rory had lots of questions throughout the day about our operatives and their roles. The teams we visited were great at including him in their demonstrations, where it was safe to do so.
Year eight student rory recently visited Morrison Telecom Services (MTS) in Leyland. rory joined his mum Jodie Worthington, SHeQ Advisor at MTS as part of his school’s ‘Take your child to work day’.
Jodie said: “rory often asks when I get home from work where I’ve been that day and what the operatives onsite were doing. He’s really interested in finding out what happens on the telecom network, so it was fitting for him to join me for the day.”
His favourite part of the day was watching a team undertake civil activities, something he has never seen before. Our people were laying new duct, installing a modular box and core drilling into an existing concrete chamber. rory observed essential work as the chamber and box house vital infrastructure for the telecommunications network.
rorY gains insight into Morrison telecoM services
We are pleased rory chose to spend his day with us at MTS. We hope it has given him a better insight into a typical day of our operatives and perhaps inspired him to think about a career in infrastructure services.
“Hopefully rory’s positive experience of the telecom industry is something he will share with his school, encouraging them to promote a wider field of careers to their students.”
M Group Services is committed to supporting and educating the next generation. We take pride in helping young people develop their knowledge and gain experience throughout our Divisions. Our aim is to inspire young people to pursue careers in Science Technology engineering and Mathematics (STeM) through interactions with our teams both in the classroom and on site. This article was originally published here on M Group Services website and we thank them for supporting our student. https://mgroupservices.com/news/our-news/Rory-gains-insight/
rory’s day began by completing the Telecom Division online induction. This training goes over the 10 zero-harm safety rules, safe digging practices, streetworks safety and introduces the telecom apps we use.

I am coming to the end of my first year at Myerscough and have chosen to progress onto the optional second year of my course. I have worked with multiple kinds of animals such as wildcats, birds of prey and reptiles which has really ignited my love in working with more exotic species and how we can live alongside them harmoniously. The benefit of the second year is that I can choose an optional module to tailor my educational experience to what I want to continue studying so I am currently choosing between zoo management or aquatic species as my second year optional. I am really thankful for my time at Lostock Hall academy and the teachers there for ultimately helping me choose my further career. ellie, leaver 2021, aniMal ManageMent/ veterinarY, MYerscough college
When choosing colleges to go to after Lostock Hall I looked at courses that could get me into a career working with animals, particularly as a Veterinary Nurse. This led me onto my Level 3 Animal Management Course at Myerscough College which seemed to be a good fit for me as it had a practical element, assignments and 2 more formal exams. It also allowed me to continue with studying biology as a part of my course, a subject I have always enjoyed doing even throughout high school. This ultimately ended up with me exploring even more careers involving animals such as an rSPCA inspector and a zoologist. From looking into careers more and working with a wider range of animals, I realised that I could work with animals and continue on with natural geography by going onto study Zoology at University.
My name is ellie and I was a student at Lostock Hall Academy from 2016 to 2021 so it hasn’t been that long since I was a student myself. When I was in high school I didn’t have much of an idea of what I wanted to go on to study so when I chose my GCSe options I had little idea about what I wanted to choose. I decided on geography, performing arts and photography and over the course of my geography GCSe I started to really enjoy the subject, particularly natural geography and how we can work with the world around us. I had always loved performing arts and photography as creative outlets to express myself and now enjoy using photography as way to capture the environment we live in.
Since leaving LHA in 2021 I have continued my studies at runshaw College where I am studying A level Geography, History and English Literature. I am almost at the end of my first year, it has been a fantastic experience and I have really enjoyed the courses. I have learnt new skills along the way such as being able to independently choose an area to research and then use this to complete an essay as part of my NeA (non-examined assessment). I have improved my presentation skills as part of my History course has involved delivering a presentation to the group about the Swing riots. The revision skills that I learnt at LHA have been a big help especially as I am approaching my end of year exams.

The highlight of this year so far has been when I successfully achieved a place on the Aspiring teachers programme and then completing the programme alongside my courses. The programme covered lots of different areas including lesson planning, behaviour management and the final part I had to plan and deliver my own lesson on a subject of my choice. This course is really useful for anybody who is considering a career in teacher as it gave me an insight into various different areas that you are not aware of as a student. It was a really valuable experience for myself. After my A levels my plans are to complete a History degree and then the final step will be to do my Post Graduate Certificate in Education as my ambition is to become a History teacher in a secondary school. In July I am attending a four-day residential course at edge Hill University where I get to experience what the course is like and also to be a student living in halls.

rhYs and carter’saction Packed daY at eg grouP Our day started off bright and early and landed at Head office of EG Group in Blackburn about 8.30am. EG Group is one of the largest fuel and food retail operators in the world and have associations with 10 of the biggest brands in the world including Starbucks, KFC, Greggs and Subway.
Off to Sbarro next - an authentic New York Pizza shop - another change of uniform and we were off making our own pizza - then to make a pizza for the public - a chicken tikka for Carter and a pepperoni for rhys. rhys and Carter’s Dad said seeing them produce this and then sell them to the public was a joyous sight. To finish the day, we had planned yet another uniform change to that of the famous green apron of Starbucks. Here we had a coffee tasting experience - where we paired food with coffee and then worked behind the counter making a selection of hot and cold drinks.
Our amazing experience did not end here, as over the road we went to Subway where a quick change of uniform saw us behind the counter and preparing our own Subway sandwich - where we finished off with a perfect wrap of our sandwich!! Time to eat the sandwich and then straight to Cinnabon we went - here we learnt the art of frosting and we frosted a batch each before later seeing them being sold to the public. We then went on to roll and make a batch each; the rolling of the pastry was quite tricky but, from making through to eating, the experience here was fun.
After a tour around Head Office off we went to KFC for a behind the scenes tour of the famous chicken brand. Here we learnt how the teams work together to get orders out and the drive through as well - a quick lesson in how to prepare the chicken fillets and we were making their own chicken - 6 minutes later we had the opportunity to make their own burgers using the chicken we had just cooked.
I cannot thank Lostock Hall Academy enough for their support during my time with them. I was lucky enough to receive a bursary from them to aid in my oncoming start at college. I used that money to buy the materials necessary for my subjects and I felt confident and supported walking through the gates for the first time. I still miss all of my teachers and wish they could have come with me to teach my lessons in college! Thank you and good luck, Amber.
Editor note – Amber’s story reminds us that career pathways do not always run as we might expect them to, but the important thing she wanted you to know is that it is ok to change your plans as things will work out as they are supposed to be. We are proud of Amber in taking these decisions which will support her new direction and we will catch up with her again in future editions.
I’ve always been determined when it comes to aspirations and personal goals. Picking difficult A-levels (never mind four of them!) was difficult but over the year I realised that they were not for me. I have therefore decided to choose other A Levels. In September, I’ll be restarting with english Literature, Psychology and Fine Art. I’ve always loved art and being creative and I’m choosing this path for my health and happiness.
experience is not the typical one with COVID-19 causing chaos for the duration of my final two years at Lostock and the truth is; it was a struggle. But, I finished with the grades I needed and proceeded to enrol at Cardinal Newman College where I began four A-Levels: Chemistry, Biology, english Literature and Psychology.

I attended Lostock Hall Academy between 2016-21. I always had a direction I wanted to go in – medicine. I chose my GCSEs based off what research told me would be the most beneficial (History, Fine Art and French, all of which I highly recommend) and began my journey there. So, for the next 5 years, this is what I worked
What is a-LeveL Fine art? Fine Art A-Level is the making and study of visual art such as painting, printmaking and sculpture. The course covers a variety of different processes and skills, which can be developed on a specialist art and design degree course.

Two weeks later Year 10 went along to sample college life at Cardinal Newman on the 6th of July and Runshaw on the 7th of July. Again our students sampled a wide variety of lessons finding it an extremely worthwhile day.
Preston’s college Year 9 taster daY On Wednesday 22nd of June 2022, Year 9 were invited to spend a day at Preston College, sampling a variety of lessons, some of which where a completely new experience, for example hair and beauty and different aspects of construction. The day was thoroughly enjoyed by all our students.
During my phase 1 training, I have learned all the primary skills a soldier needs from the small things of how to take care of your kit to how to have the best chance of survival when under attack, all skills every soldier needs so that at any point in time you can be deployed and know exactly what to do in certain situations and you are not left unsure and at risk. This can be one of the hardest parts of the training when you do it as they make it really tough so that they can build you into the military mind set and so that you can always be ready to do your job.
Moving forward in my training, I will be learning more of my trade as a networks engineer and what our role is in the battlefield and how we would use it to support the fight if we needed to. After I have finished my trade training I will be going to my working unit where each unit specialises in its own special capabilities from the basic signal regiment to Para Signallers and Special Forces Communicators and their supporting roles.”

“Since I left school, my aim was to join the army as a cyber engineer, and I am still continuing that path. I have decided which of the 3 cyber engineer paths I wanted to pursue for my career and out of the 3 I have chosen to choose network engineer. But as with all roles in the army, you all have to do phase 1 training to prepare you as infantry men and women because for all roles you are still a soldier. The Penketh Award helped me pay towards some of the equipment I needed to help me get through training and it is all still used regularly to this day.
