Every Wednesday afternoon, our Year 12 students have the opportunity to listen to speakers from a wide variety of areas including volunteering, education and industry as part of our Inauro programme. So far this term, we have been delighted to welcome speakers from the National Citizenship Service and the IRIS (the Institute of Scientific Research) who enthused our students about opportunities available for personal development. We are always grateful to receive offers of volunteers to speak to our students about your area of interest/expertise. Please contact rshaw@stmaryschesterfield.org.uk if you would like to arrange this.
