The reception provides a networking environment, where ambassadors are able to impart career advice and help nurture the potential of ambitious students and students themselves can meet successful women and learn first hand from their experiences. It is an extremely valuable forum for networking.
Lansons gave our 5 of our connected schools the opportunity to visit their offices in London to host a PR workshop giving them a taste of what PR is and interview training and top tips.
Thank you for organising the insight visit to Lansons today. I had 5 students with me and they had a really great morning. The speakers were all interesting and the students felt they learnt a lot from the session.
– Nicky Stoney, Head of Careers & Futures, Sydenham High School
Thank you so much for inviting us to join the event at Lansons today. The girls and I thoroughly enjoyed it – they said that you’ve won them over! It was so interesting to hear from different speakers about their roles in the PR, Marketing and Communications sector and gain a comprehensive overview. The students also said how helpful it was to hear from an employer about what to include in their CVs and how to prepare for interview.

Pipers Corner School welcomed one of our ambassadors from the Women of the Future Programme to speak to our sixth formers about her groundbreaking work in sustainable building practices.
The session was more than just a talk—it was a hands-on challenge! Students worked in teams to design and build their own sustainable structures, pushing their creativity and critical thinking skills to the limit. Hearing first-hand about the ambassador’s experiences and achievements motivated our students to think ambitiously about their own career aspirations. The event culminated with each team pitching their innovative designs to the ambassador, gaining invaluable feedback and insight into the future of green architecture.
A huge thank you to the Women of the Future program for inspiring our students to think bigger and bolder. The future of sustainable design is in good hands!
On November 14th, four of our WOF Ambassadors from various industries attended a Careers Seminar at Wycombe Abbey to speak with year 10, 11 and 12 students.

It was so wonderful visiting your school and meeting some of your students. We had a wonderful two sessions. The pupils were very engaged and asked some very bright and interesting questions – Emma Oldham, WOF Ambassador
It was an absolute pleasure to join you at the Careers Seminar and share my journey with the girls. They were such an engaged and inspiring group, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations – Aletha Shepherd, WOF Ambassador
One of our WOF Ambassadors attended a school visit for a skills-based fair at Blackheath High School for a workshop-based skills session, based on practical skills that will equip the young girls for the future.
“Our students found Amy and Anila interesting, inspiring and engaging and they relished the opportunity to network with them after their talks. It is such a wonderful opportunity for young women to see what they can aspire to.”
– Amy Hatchwell, Assistant Head of Sixth Form, Sutton High School. November 2023
“The students came away with inspiration to live their ambitions and overcome obstacles and were full of excitement and enthusiasm.
As visitors you made this day possible and made the experience very memorable as compassionate female leaders and cemented how fortunate we are to be a school community that is supportive, aspirational and above all collaborative and kind.
Above all the students were inspired and motivated by the day”
