Senior Speech Night 2022

We were delighted to welcome back our former A level students to be presented with their certificates and prizes by former student Lucy Scully who is a Senior Crown Prosecutor in the North West Complex Casework Unit and a Deputy District Judge.

Lucy encouraged former students to think big and to "give yourself to a cause, be passionate about issues, become well-read in an area you are passionate about" and stressing the importance of working for "the betterment of something beyond your own life."  Students were advised to 'do the small things well' and "treat everyone the same - the cleaner, the secretary or the CEO" and were encouraged to embrace responsibility and sometimes step outside of their comfort zones. 

Overall, Lucy's key message was that the world "lacks enough good people.  People to fight for the right things in the right way.  To live and work with passion, commitment, integrity and humility.  Whether that’s in law, local government, children’s work, social care, retail, education or business. We need good people, not just smart people. Whether it’s making a difference in your household, community, in this region, across the nation or perhaps even around the world. We need good people, not just smart people. Being one of those - in whatever career or contribution you choose - is the greatest success you could enjoy."

Congratulations to the class of 2022!
