It was an absolutely amazing day which fully captured our mantra that ‘everything is possible’. Many thanks to our truly inspirational keynote speakers Saju Iqbal Ahmed and Louise F. Steele Saukila who captivated our new Y11 cohort. Fabulous job Miss Lancaster-Knaggs and Jennifer Webb!

Martha 💫 Trinity Academy Cathedral Saju Iqbal Ahmed Louise F. Steele Saukila It was a full day to set the tone for Y11. Spoken word poet opened the day, then careers talks (free choice, loads of local businesses, alumni etc.), apprenticeship and uni talks, personal finance and goal setting. Then a final talk from a neurosurgeon about aspiration.

Then lots of opportunities to pause and reflect over the course of the day. Students ended by visualising what they want from their future & making a pledge to themselves.

We are hosting free spoken word workshops for anyone in #bradford who has summat to say but not sure how to say it. The first one is with the one and only Yomi Ṣode 🇳🇬 who is currently all over my feed with everyone raving about his excellence, 💥GirlingtonCentre bdproducinghub.co.uk/front-room-poe…
