Ibstock 130 Festival Alumni Sport Fixtures

We kicked off the Ibstock 130 Festival with some friendly alumni sports matches over on Cooper’s Campus. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces back at School and many stayed on after the matches to enjoy the Festival and catch up with friends, former classmates and teachers. Thank you to Mr Robinson and Mr Price for oganising the fixtures!

Activities Week Alumni Visit and Careers Talk We were delighted to welcome back eight alumni who spoke to our Lower Sixth pupils about their experiences at University. Pupils were given the chance to ask questions and talk to alumni in small groups. The ins and outs of placement years, the importance of joining societies and how to cook on a tight budget were all covered! Senior 10 pupils also listened to a talk by parent BenWalder on his book ‘The Visual Agile Coach Playbook’, all about the power of growth mindsets, psychological safety and creativity in the world of work. This was followed by pupils creating and pitching a business idea, using these very skills!

International Universities Fair

Where are they now?

At our International Universities Fair, pupils had the chance to speak to representatives from a wide range of universities and explore the opportunities available to study in the UK and abroad. Universities with campuses all over the world were there, from the USA, Canada, Spain, Switzerland, and Singapore.

Mr Robinson caught up with alumni Ben, Jessica and Caroline Steib who relocated to New York City in 2012. They popped in for a tour, reconnected with some of their teachers and shared many fond memories. It was lovely to see them and hear about howwell they are doing in their respective careers and studies!
