Inspirational Speaker

Date: 27th Sep 2022 @ 12:29pm

We have been lucky enough to have an inspirational speaker, John Bradshaw, visit our school on Monday. Staff met him during their inset day on 2nd September also. Having sustained serious injuries whilst defusing booby-trapped landmines in the Zimbabwean civil war, John developed a framework to live a happy and ordered life. Becoming partially sighted at the age of 19 didn’t stop him fulfilling his potential and pursuing an academic career. He subsequently became totally blind and now travels the country giving inspirational talks. The children loved meeting his guide dog, Jimmy. John is a true inspiration and  permeates Courage and Resilience.

Some quotes from the children:

‘I enjoyed it because it was something a bit different and unique to our usual visitors’.

’It proved that no matter what happens we should never give up’. 

‘It was inspirational’.

‘Even if you have a disability, you can still do anything’.
