Alumni Programme Officer @FutureFirstOrg. Supporting state schools to build alumni communities. Tweeting education, politics and literature. All views my own.
A powerful moment in #School when the interviewer asks Yr 7 Leo ‘Is there anybody in your life that you think has a good job?’ A: ‘Not that I can think of.’ Relatable #RoleModels are so important for good careers education and breaking down barriers #AlumniPower
"Volunteering has had a positive impact on the staff at Blackpool Transport and we are looking forward to continuing working with young people and helping improve their aspirations for the future". #AlumniPower

Combating stereotypes and fighting 'imposter syndrome' is central to what we do at @FutureFirstOrg. If you want to show students of your old school that people like them can be successful sign up to volunteer here: https://t.co/pMHSXJNzIl
So impressed by @UptonVoice 50th anniversary celebrations - they invited former students to a special event which they filmed & created an archive of special Upton memory videos https://t.co/n7176rc21q https://t.co/6pKQaNTUZ9 #AlumniPower

Big thank you to @AlexDemetriou09. As well as inspiring our young people at our Awards Ceremony, they gave their extra time to chat with some of our pupils and said hello to them at the Pleasure Beach during their performance. #alumni#thankyou#WeAreSTAR
Liam couldn't come to St Thomas More's #WorldofWork day but instead sent a fantastic video depicting his experiences training to be a pilot! Great example of remotely supporting your old school 📹📹

Many thanks to our special guests @AlexDemetriou09,former Highfield pupil and his wife @_carlottamarie. You have inspired us to shine bright and follow our dreams. Powerful message about working hard and believing in yourself."When somebody says no, work hard until they say yes."
'Saying to teachers ‘we have work to do!’ (no matter how much energy I put into those words) – it’s like asking footballers to juggle as they run. We are flat out already. I get it' 'What I say to teachers is... make changes that inspire you' @MrPranPatel https://t.co/4W6QX4BI4y
Such a brilliant session @Levenshulmehigh today with Year 10s and two brilliant women from @kpmguk Amna and Malaika whi discussed being women in a Male dominated sector!
