Lighthouse Schools Partnership held the first Business Breakfast of this academic year on Wednesday 20 November at Churchill Academy and Sixth Form.  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 Churchill Academy and Sixth Form Headteacher, Chris 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, Gareth 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 students – Sofia and Tobias, from Churchill Sixth Form, sharing details of their upcoming Sixth Form trip to Madagascar.

A wonderful buffet breakfast was provided by Aspens Catering.

A big thank you to everyone who attended this morning - and an extra special thank you to our speakers.
