Val Ismaili gave an inspirational and timely talk to our Year 8 pupils just before their exams and Summer outdoor adventure programme. The talk hit the right note from the start. It was well paced, informative, humorous and included so many of the values we promote to pupils - independence, perseverance, humility, critical thinking, teamwork and having the courage to take their own path as they look to the future. Feedback from pupils, and staff, was excellent. I would wholeheartedly recommend Val’s talk to any school as an example of what can be achieved with determination.
