On Thursday this week we welcomed back alumnus Grace who spoke to Maths and Business Studies students.

Grace studied Business Studies, Psychology, Biology and EPQ when she was a student at our Sixth Form and is now in her third year of a Degree Apprenticeship with Laing O'Rourke where she is training to be a Quantity Surveyor.

Grace spoke to students about how her A levels have enabled her to progress to Higher Education and the workplace, outlining the nature of the role, how she has been able to balance work, university studies and hands on learning.

Following the presentations, Grace then met with a Year 13 student who is applying to Quantity Surveying courses for university this September. She was able to advise her about work experience and internship opportunities. We'd like to thank Grace for coming in and look forward to seeing her again soon.
