On 20 January the Year 11 students were given a motivational talk by Richard McCann.
As many of you will remember, Richard has been into school before. He is in fact the son of the first victim of the notorious Yorkshire Ripper.
After this tragedy, his life spiralled into deprivation, substance abuse and finally prison. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles he managed to turn his life round and his now a motivational speaker. His theme is that if he could find the strength to overcome seemingly impossible adversity, then anyone can.
His talk went down extremely well with the students and gave them plenty to think about.
