The initiative, titled “Former Pupils Ready to Help,” invites alumni from all decades to share their expertise, career experiences, and personal stories to support and inspire the next generation of Maidstonians.

Notable alumni have already signed up to mentor students across a range of fields. Natalie Seymour, a former field hockey representative, will lead workshops on sports leadership and teamwork, while soprano Katie Bird will offer masterclasses in music and performance. Journalist Holly Sutton plans to mentor aspiring writers and media enthusiasts, giving students practical advice on navigating the competitive world of journalism.

Headteacher Mr. James Fletcher commented, “Our alumni are an incredible resource for our students. Their guidance and encouragement can open doors and spark ambitions that might otherwise remain hidden.”
