Enterprise Advisor - Jayne Magee
"I am the school’s Enterprise Adviser. In this voluntary role I support Mr Fallows, the school’s career’s leader, to develop and evaluate the school’s careers plan. I do this largely from the perspective of a local employer. I am also a parent and member of the local community. It’s important for us all to support our young people to make their best next step towards their chosen career.”
