We had Bilal Harry Khan, a guest speaker from the Barclays LifeSkills Programme, come in on Tuesday, 21st April, to speak to our students in Years 8, 9, and 10 about how the LifeSkills programme is designed to give young people access to the advice, support and opportunities they need to get ready for the world of work, with the aim of improving the confidence, communication skills and employment prospects of young people through educational resources, online content, workshops, events and work experience.

Our students reacted with enthusiasm to Bilal’s energetic talk and it is hoped that those who decide to look further into the programme will find it to be the starting point to a better future.
