David Dein MBE

David Dein MBE

We were thrilled today to host David Dein MBE when he came to speak to our year 12 students.  David is the former Vice Chairman of both Arsenal Football Club and the Football Association and was the driving force behind the creation of the FA Premier League in 1992.

He delivered an inspiring talk to the students with energy and humour.  His positivity and enthusiasm kept the attention of all the students (even those who don’t particularly like football!), and he gave them some great advice about how to be successful, make a good impression and take advantage of every opportunity.

According to the students, the greatest take away from David was the Motto of the Turtle: you won’t get anywhere if you don’t stick your neck out!

Thank you David for a fantastic and memorable morning.
