“Being obligated to listen to another guest speaker in our PHSE lesson turned out not to be so tedious when Mr Will Baxter made a visit to our school.
We were surprised to be met with such intelligent humour and open-mindedness so early in the morning and enjoyed a more than interesting talk on the contents of individuals’ handbags as well as the many gratifications of travelling the world.
All in all Will left us with many new and valuable ways of looking at our future lives as well as offering a vast spectrum into how to fill a gap year. An improvement on our last guest speaker: The Vet!”
Mahmood Ansari, 18, Bishop Thomas Grant School, London
