Today, a group of our students had the incredible opportunity to take part in a special International Women’s Day Conference here at Countesthorpe Academy.
They heard from two truly inspirational women:
💼 Dame Amanda Blanc, CEO of Aviva Group
👮 Inspector Siobhan Gorman, Leicestershire Police
Both speakers shared powerful messages about ambition, resilience, and self-belief. They encouraged our students to aim high, break down barriers, challenge expectations, and to never accept second place.
Their stories showed our young people that leadership has no limits—and neither should their aspirations.
🌟 Today wasn’t just about celebrating women; it was about inspiring the next generation to shape the future with confidence, courage, and determination.
Here’s to strong women—may we know them, may we raise them, and may we become them.
