Hear from our QEH Captains, Georgia & Ben

#033 - Welcome back to The QEH Podcast, the place to find out more about the school and to connect with staff, pupils and parents at a deeper level. Each week we interview people in the QEH community, asking them questions and spending time understanding them and more about the school. Now I love episodes like this because while it’s good to speak to staff it’s great to speak to students. And we have two on this episode, we have Georgia and Ben, both in Y13 and both Captains at QEH. Some schools have a Head Boy and Head Girl, if you know anything about QEH you’ll know they have Captains, and what a privilege it is to talk to them both today. If you don’t know then Captains are in the role from Easter to Easter and right now Ben and Georgia are coming to their end of their placement so we’re going to find out the journey they’ve been on in the last 12 months, what they’ve enjoyed, what made them nervous, what they’re going to do after leaving QEH and how this will help them. So for all that and for much more come with me now as we speak to our QEH Captains, it’s Georgia and Ben.
