As part of our London 2025 enrichment trip, students from Longley Park Sixth Form had the exciting opportunity to visit A&O Shearman, one of the UK’s renowned Magic Circle law firms.
The visit offered students a valuable insight into the legal profession, including a behind-the-scenes look at the day-to-day workings of an international law firm. Students explored a range of career pathways in law, gained a deeper understanding of commercial awareness, and received practical guidance on navigating the competitive application and interview process.
Miranda Bruce, Early Careers Recruitment Coordinator at A&O Shearman, praised the students’ engagement:
"The students were engaged and professional throughout. They participated in all activities and asked lots of questions. It was great to have them visit."
Jenny Austen, Operations Director at The School Outreach Company, highlighted the value of the experience:
"It was so rewarding to be able to support Longley Park Sixth Form with a visit to A&O Shearman's London office. The insights and value gained from experiencing a live office having the opportunity to network with apprentices and senior colleagues, is a crucial part of helping students shape their future."
We are incredibly proud of our students for representing Longley Park so well and making the most of this inspiring opportunity.
A huge thank you to A&O Shearman and The School Outreach Company for making this experience possible.
