Headspace Speaker Programme – James Heslop OB

Headspace Speaker Programme – James Heslop OB

Senior School students were treated to an enthralling, opening Headspace lecture of the Trinity Term today, as we welcomed James Heslop OB back to Barney.

James, who is Head of Strategy at Network Rail, spoke to pupils about his time at Barney, encouraging students to take advantage of the opportunities available to them and to attempt new things.

He also discussed his role and the opportunities available in the sector, especially STEM-related professions and the future workplace, which has been a common theme in our exciting Headspace Speaker programme.

We are grateful to James for giving up his time to visit his old School, and we look forward to hearing from fellow OBs and visiting speakers this term and beyond.
