Thames Tideway Careers Trip<br />
The trip to Thames Tideway was most definitely worth the arduous<br />
journey to get there. The students found the day most fascinating<br />
and worthwhile as the company is building a tunnel underneath<br />
the whole of London in order to ensure sewage does not keep<br />
contaminating the River Thames. They showed us models of the<br />
Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) as well as offered the chance for us<br />
to see the real thing. The day was extremely insightful and gave the<br />
students the opportunity to meet different personnel in the company<br />
ranging from several different engineers to the office scientists<br />
who were constantly analysing the cross section of the Earth where<br />
the proposed tunnel will be. New technology was shown to the<br />
students such as virtual reality and 3D apps. The students found<br />
them most exciting to use and extremely interesting. Students like<br />
Leo Payne, Emma Kinahan, Valeed Ali and Freddie Taylor (year<br />
8) asked insightful questions continuously throughout the visit.<br />
On the way home Freddie who was most impressed said; “When I<br />
am older I want to be an engineer and work there”. Leo said of the trip; “The trip to Thames Tideway<br />
was really fun. I met a real tunnel engineer and finally found out how tunnels are made under the sea”<br />
and Emma said; “I had a really good time and enjoyed seeing the TBM machine. I never realised there<br />
were so many different ways to build tunnels”.<br />
Careers Trip to Constain Skanskia<br />
Constain Skanskia was a great opportunity for year 8 students to visit a major construction site that has<br />
planned and help deliver the Cross Rail to the UK. During the visit student met engineers, apprentices<br />
and employees and found out about their jobs and the challenges of working on this massive project.<br />
Students spent time planning and finding a solution to real problems that they face such as deciding the<br />
route of the rail and its impact on individuals, groups and the environment.<br />
Kevin Biggs (Assistant Headteacher – Careers)<br />
“It was great meeting somebody who does a real job<br />
especially the engineers. It was interesting finding out<br />
about their jobs and how they got to their jobs”.<br />
