School visits

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”

– Celia Rice, Assistant Headteacher

We were delighted to have two ambassadors, Jess Alden & Jo Goodall, give a presentation to Year 11 for their Careers Fair.

“Very valuable. A highly inspirational talk about a journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur. The girls were on the edge of their seat!”

– Amelia Holme, Assistant Headteacher

We were delighted to hold our Annual Ambassadors Reception at Lords Cricket Ground on 23rd May 2023

“It was such an amazing experience and I learnt so much. I now feel so much more confident and optimistic about my future. I went into the conference very anxious and unsure about my career but now I understand it’s completely normal to change career and grow into new jobs and positions throughout life.”

We were delighted to invite 40 students to TSB bank to hear from leaders about the variety of roles within the bank.

A lot of the guest speakers had done different courses at university and were currently working with the bank which helped me understand that you don’t necessarily need to know what to do and it’s OK if you want to change your career later on.”
