Last week, Knightsbridge School was buzzing with the sense of possibility! Our annual Careers Week (organised by Head of Maths and Careers Lead, Mr. Hind, in partnership with the KSPA) transformed the traditional classroom experience into a gateway to future careers. At KS, we are strongly committed to our ethos of “all-round achievement”, ensuring our pupils recognise that success comes in many forms. It was so inspiring for our pupils to be able to see where hard work and passion can get them!
Knightsbridge School Careers Week 2026
Posted: 9th February 2026
Pupils from across our Junior and Senior school had the chance to get involved and ask their questions to KS parents who are working in a variety of different sectors and roles. For our Junior students, this week was an opportunity to ignite different passions they may have, and see how the topics they are learning in class provide the foundations for future career pathways. For our Senior School pupils, this week served as a careers roadmap, offering a tangible look at the diverse opportunities awaiting them beyond school.

Careers Week is a testament to our commitment to holistic enrichment – we hope that our pupils found it insightful and inspiring! We also owe a tremendous thank you to our parent community who gave of their time to make this week such a success.
Careers enrichment at Knightsbridge is a year-round endeavor. While our ‘lifeskills’ curriculum provision continues to provide students with the vital knowledge needed to excel in the classroom and beyond, we are already looking forward to two major upcoming milestones:
- March 2026: The Entrepreneur Competition final, where students can hopefully apply what they learned this week to their own business plans!
- Summer Term: Our Year 10 students will head out for their week of professional work experience placements.
To see our vibrant community in action and learn more about our “all-round achievement” ethos, we invite you to book a private tour or attend our next Open Morning.
