There is nothing quite like the buzz and excitement of a graduation day. Earlier this year, our partners at Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Ltd, were delighted to help celebrate the graduation of the third cohort of Mulberry STEM Academy students.

Year 10 students participated in mock assessment centre workshops to prepare for the world of work – these featured a variety of exercises, role-playing scenarios and simulated interviews to build confidence and capability in articulating ideas, interview techniques and teamwork.
We are really proud of the professionalism displayed by our Year 10 students, which bodes well for their onward progression into further education and the world of work.
Our Year 12 students had the opportunity to participate in a mentoring session hosted by global law firm Clyde and Co.
The students distinguished themselves with their professional, proactive approach – the event enabled them to explore the intricacies of the legal profession and gain insights from legal professionals that will be invaluable on their journey towards fulfilling their own aspirations.
Art and Graphics students recently visited the Cartoon Museum, where they had the privilege of meeting a professional cartoonist and artist with over three decades of experience. The visit provided them with valuable insights into this dynamic creative industry.
During the visit, students were treated to a personalised tour of the museum’s permanent collection, and enjoyed the temporary ‘Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers turns 30!’ exhibition. Students also had the opportunity to appreciate diverse artworks at both the National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery.
Twelve students completed an exciting and challenging five-day Duke of Edinburgh Outward Bound course in Ullswater in the Lake District.
The wide range of activities included canoeing, scrambling, gorge climbing and a two-day expedition involving an overnight high camp in extreme conditions.
Students responded to these challenges superbly and grew in confidence, teamwork, environmental awareness and leadership.
As part of our Global Girl Leading programme, eight Year 12 students from across the Mulberry Schools Trust participated in a New York study tour in March 2024.
The students attended the prestigious UN International School Conference Equal Rights Equal Heights: Climbing the Ladder of Gender Equality in the United Nations HQ. The conference addressed the persistent issue of gender inequality. Conference speakers included UN Permanent Representatives from Iceland, Sweden and Malta, and our students contributed to discussion and debate, to help develop bold new ways to close the gap between the genders. They also shared priorities for girls’ education,
voice and leadership.
As well as participating in the conference, our students also visited several iconic New York landmarks including the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center and Ellis Island. They also recorded video diaries about their experiences in the city, which will be included in an upcoming film about the trip.
” It was an honour to represent the UK at the UN as Ambassadors. Young people still have much work to do to change the predetermined discrimination still present in today’s world and, as global citizens, we can make that change. We also enjoyed experiencing the rich history and culture of New York City.”
