Aspirations Programme for Year 6

TV broadcaster Jon Snow, Chair of the Commission for Racial Equality Trevor Phillips, and political journalist Reeta Chakrabarti are among an inspirational line-up of professionals who have spoken to our Year 6 children to encourage them to aspire to a range of top jobs.

The ongoing series of talks show the children the many opportunities there are in the world of work. Speakers have also included Royal Navy pilot Lieutenant Dele Okukenu, civil engineer Isil Guler, barrister Reena Gognan, cancer research scientist Kathy Weston, deputy editor of the Guardian newspaper Kath Viner, and architect Sunand Prasad.

Jenny Gledhill, special projects co-ordinator, said, 'We are very excited that the children have the chance to meet some of society's leading professionals and we are very grateful for the time and interest they show in our school.'
