Year 3 & 4's visit from a lawyer

This morning, we were lucky enough to hear the inspiring story of one of our parents and their career path to becoming a lawyer! Oli loves sport and explained to the children why he loves his job.

We heard about the really cool aspects to Oli's job as a lawyer who deals especially in the sports world. From helping to strike deals and agreements for top sports professionals to helping the arrangement of famous pop stars performing in top venues such as football stadiums, the children were fascinated to hear about Oli's role.

It was so interesting to hear about the skills involved in his job, including lots of reading and writing skills, attention to detail, technology and computing skills and even the benefits of being able to speak different languages. Oil works with worldwide agencies to carry out his job and it is crucial to help professional sportsmen and women to agree contracts, even when they may not speak English.

The children have learnt a lot about the range of skills required for this inspiring job, which in turn has inspired them to achieve to their full potential in school and truly follow a career path doing something they’re passionate about.
