Year 8 students during a visit to Autotrader’s head office in Manchester, in October 2025

Celebrating Black History Month with Autotrader and Manchester Digital ( Published: 07/10/2025)

As part of our Black History Month celebrations, 30 of our Year 8 students had the exciting opportunity to visit Autotrader’s head office in Manchester for a special event, in collaboration with Manchester Digital.

Throughout the day, students engaged in a range of hands-on activities including data analysis, coding, and graphic design, gaining valuable insight into the world of digital technology.

A highlight of the visit was a panel discussion featuring Autotrader colleagues from diverse backgrounds, who shared their personal career journeys and offered advice on navigating the digital industry. Their stories were inspiring and gave our students a real sense of the opportunities and pathways available to them when they leave school. Students also really enjoyed their office tour and particularly the chance to sit in a range of vintage vehicles.

Well done to all of our students for demonstrating our REACH value of Ambition and being great ambassadors for TEMA.

Thank you to the colleagues at Autotrader for their time, enthusiasm, and commitment to supporting young people.
