Dare2Dream Visit for Year 9 pupils
Last week, Year 9 were visited by The Dare2Dream Foundation and special guest speaker Jack the Lad. This was such a brilliant speech and presentation for Year 9 to listen to. In my nearly 20 years of teaching I have never heard an outside speaker talk so passionately and deliver something so relevant to the target audience. Year 9 were so engaged in what Jack was saying, it was a pleasure to be there and be a part of the experience. His main message was for children to believe in themselves and be resilient through talking about his own life and his speech was filled with motivation and advice. I am delighted that Jack will be back in July for another talk.
After the presentation our 15 pupils involved in the Rolls Royce mentoring programme received their second session from their mentors from Rolls Royce, another fantastic opportunity that they again loved. Their third session will also happen in July.
Mr Carter, Head of Year 9
