Today, we were honoured to welcome DCI 1860 Amerjit Singh QPM, a former Ken Stimpson student, to our school.
Amerjit, awarded the Queen's Police Medal for Distinguished Service in 2018, is an inspiration and now one of the highest-ranking Asian officers in the police force. He shared his journey with our students, his reasons for joining the police, discussed diversity, overcoming adversity, and the impact his work has had on others.
We thank him for his time today.

This week we have welcomed professionals from across the city who have supported our Year 11's with mock interview practice. This allows students to learn how to answer difficult questions, develop interview strategies and improve their communication skills.
The interviews are just one of the things happening as part of National Apprenticeship week in school this week. Students have also been taking part in work place visits, visiting apprenticeship fairs and participating in tutor time quizzes.
We would like to thank the following companies for giving up their time, including ARU Peterborough, HMPO, Network Rail, Skanska, First Intuition, URBN distribution centre. DWP, Cross Key Homes, Viridor, Anglian Water & News UK.
Last week, Mr Satari held assemblies on "Too Good to Be True" in preparation for today's Safer Internet Day. He educated students about online safety, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and recognizing online scams.

Yesterday our Safer Schools Officer, PC Chris Baker, gave an informative and engaging talk to our Year 9 students. Delivered in small groups, he discussed hard hitting topics such as knife crime, online safety and gang violence. Students were guided through the topics and given advice on how to keep themselves and their friends safe with the key message that there is no reset button in real life.
