Alumnae Post-16 Pathways Talk

27-09-2021

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome back alumnae Annabel, Immy P, Immy T and Grace from the Class of 2014 to Leehurst Swan this morning.

Huge thanks to all four who shared their personal experiences of their post-16 pathways (A levels, further education, extra-curricular hobbies and opportunities, and careers) to our Year 10s and 11s and gave them some great top tips.

Annabel is a clinical psychologist, Immy P is a graduate trainee for Coca-Cola, Immy T is a geologist and Grace is setting up her own business as a masseuse and acupuncturist.

Their top tips included:

  • Don’t put too much pressure on yourself
  • Always choose a subject you enjoy
  • Don’t feel pressured to follow your peers
  • It’s ok to not feel 100% certain on what career path you want
  • Don’t give up, keep trying!
  • Get involved in clubs and societies
  • You may not end up where you thought you were going, but you will always end up where you are meant to be”
  • It’s also ok to change your mind if something isn’t what you thought it was
  • Resilience and perseverance are so important
  • Establish a fancy-dress wardrobe.
