04 Mar Benik Afobe Visit
Wednesday 2nd March
This week we had a real treat in the form of a visit from ex-JRCS student and professional footballer Benik Afobe (pictured above). Benik moved on to be a great success in his life after school, signing a professional contract with Arsenal and going on to play for several other clubs including Millwall FC where he is currently signed.
Benik has upheld close ties with his roots by offering to come back to JRCS and speak to our next generation of students. Benik has also faced personal adversity and spoke powerfully to our students about overcoming challenges and building resilience for success.
During his visit, Benik presented to a group of students on mental health awareness, met some of our student voice action teams and played football with our Wings Academy. It was an inspiring day for all and a fantastic opportunity for our students to hear from a motivating member of the school’s alumni.
