PROGRAMME ACTIVITY

Our incredible WOF Ambassador, Carlotta Zorzi-Chapman, visited St Mary’s School Gerrards Cross to chat with students about tech, innovation, and chasing your dreams.

The students were captivated by her journey and insights into the exciting world of technology. One of the teachers shared:
“Your talk was exceptional and the girls gained so much from it. You’ve had such an inspiring journey and it was amazing for the girls to hear someone speak so passionately about the world of tech.” – Sam Kelly, Key Stage 4 and Head of Religious Studies

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.
– Liz Allen, Deputy Head of Sixth Form (HE & Careers), James Allen’s Girls School

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. During the talks, our ambassadors spoke about their experiences and career journey to inspire and enable the students to expand their horizons and learn about different career pathways.

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
