We were delighted to welcome former FHS student, Sue Kyd, to begin the 2018 lecture series.

Sue Kyd is an actress and Polished Corner who has performed numerous roles in film, theatre and television, such as Casualty, Coronation Street, Inspector Morse, Allo! Allo! and, most recently, My Fair Lady. Sue gave an inspirational talk to all our pupils on how to succeed in the creative industries. She highlighted that continued education was a key factor in success (noting her attendance at mime and tango lessons throughout her career!), as too were resilience and perseverance. Everyone enjoyed hearing her amazing stories from “treading the boards”.

It was a pleasure for an FHS alumna to start our Women of Influence Lecture Series for 2018 and we look forward to many more to come in the next month.
