On Thursday 23rd February, we had the pleasure of welcoming Paul Hannaford to school to speak with our Year 10 students. Paul is a rehabilitated drug addict whose life story is both sad, triumphant and informative for young minds. He now dedicates his life to informing young people of the dangers of drugs, alcohol, gangs, knife and gun crime. He has spoken across the United Kingdom, and is currently fielding international offers. Since 2010 he has spoken to well over 300,000 children starting at the young age of just 6 years old. His hope is that they don’t follow in his footsteps or those of his gang, many of whom are deceased or incarcerated.
Students were both shocked and saddened by Paul’s story but they went away from his engaging assembly with one clear message: a life involving drugs can and will be self-destructive.
I’d like to thank Paul for taking time out of his busy speaking schedule to present to our students.
