A SECONDARY school is seeking former students who can inspire and motivate the current generation to academic success.

Whitmore High School in Porlock Avenue has recently established a partnership with the education charity Future First to set up networks of former students who can use their talents to support today’s students.

The charity’s vision is that every state school or college should be supported by a community that helps it to do more for its students.

The school is keen to contact former students who left recently for further education as well as those in established careers, alumni who live nearby and those who have moved away.

Andy Harris, the Head of Year 11 at Whitmore High School, said, “A network of past students with all their valuable experience will be vital in helping us to broaden current students’ jobs horizons and equip them for the world of work.

“Our commitment to facilitating the best possible outcomes for our students will be greatly enhanced by allowing them to to hear first-hand the full range of opportunities available to them.”

Mr Harris is looking forward to hearing from former students at secretary@whitmore.harrow.sch.uk.

Former students can also sign up to Future First’s alumni scheme via the website www.futurefirst.org.uk and clicking on the “Former Students” links.
