On Monday 21st October Marlborough's Student Leaders were invited to a third planning day in preparation for a sixth form conference on 26th November, organised and run by the consortium Student Leaders. The day has been designed to give sixth form students an opportunity to engage in workshops, activities and discussions based around communication whilst interacting with students from local schools. Gaby used her expertise in art to design ways to incorporate her passion into the day. Opportunities to draw, paint and be creative in workshops or in the free time given. Alice and Holly navigated how to run a workshop on 'can we ever have an opinion' and what discussions and tasks could look like. Well done to our student leaders. #endeavour

Year 12 A Level Business Students visited Premier Foods for an insight into potential business related careers. The students listened to talks from different areas of the business including one from an ex student who is currently in charge of procurement. They were able to apply their knowledge from lessons to a large business as well as hear about career pathways. The areas included HR, Accountancy, Marketing, Sales and Procurement. The students then got a tour of the building as well as an opportunity to go into the product room and make their own pizzas! #endeavour #courage
