Churchill Academy & Sixth Form hosts the LSP Business Breakfast ​​​​​​​

The Academy hosted the first Lighthouse Schools Partnership Business Breakfast of the academic year on Wednesday 20th November. Over 100 Business Partners and education colleagues attended the successful event.

Our main speaker at the event – Simon Lawrence OBE, General Manager of the National Trust Bristol Portfolio – provided an interesting and insightful reflection on the principles and values of ‘Servant Leadership’ that he has learnt throughout his military and diplomatic career.

Visitors were welcomed by Mr Hildrew, and LSP CEO Dr Gary Lewis, who thanked all the business partners and colleagues for their valued collaboration and support. We also heard from Chew Valley School Headteacher, Mr Beynon, who inspired us all with his talk on the importance of the outdoors when it comes to educating our children and young people.

Finally, we heard from two of our Sixth-Form students, Sofia and Tobias, who shared details of their upcoming two-week trip to Madagascar to complete conservation and ecology work. The students not only impressed the audience with the trip's educational and life-experience value but also showcased their salesmanship with a hilarious pitch to help drum up sponsorships from business owners!

It was a fantastic and informative morning, giving us all an opportunity to feel inspired.
