Year 10 were lucky enough to take a trip to Alton College at the beginning of March to see Keynote speaker Stuart Lawrence. Dr Stuart Lawrence, who grew up in South London, gave all attendees an insight into his life growing up and the journey that he has been on to get to where he is today. He also detailed the tragic loss of his brother Stephen Lawrence in 1993 and how this prompted him to inspire and educate others to make a difference and think about their own responsibility when it comes to racism.
After his session, there was an opportunity for students to engage in a Q&A session, where students asked Dr Stuart a range of insightful questions which had extremely high student engagement.
“Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the trip to Alton College to see Stuart Lawrence. It was an eye-opening experience for me, and it inspired me. It was immersive and thought-provoking.” – Y10 Student.
