Amber, Head of Women’s and Girls’ football at Nottingham forest, joined us this morning to talk about the changing face of the beautiful game. Amber spoke to our students about perseverance, the challenges of making it in the football industry, and her highlights of playing with the Lionesses’ very own Mary Earps.

We had the fantastic Lyvia join students this morning for an assembly. Lyvia spoke about her journey as a singer-songwriter, her time on The Voice UK, her new EP as well as the struggles and triumphs along the way. Our students were exceptional and asked some brilliant questions during the Q+A session as well.
One student said, “I feel super inspired following this morning’s assembly. It feels beautiful to be represented on stage!”
We are so grateful to Lyvia for giving up her time to speak to our young people. https://instagr.am/p/C9C5uy9izo-/
