Alexander McLean talks to Year 12 students

Worth was delighted to welcome Alexander McLean as guest speaker for Year 12 students at last Saturday’s Worth Leadership Formation.

Having trained as a barrister and magistrate, Mr McLean went on to found the charity Justice Defenders. He is a Senior TED Fellow, Ashoka Fellow and UK Young Philanthropist of the Year. He has appeared in TIME Magazine’s 30 Under 30 Changing the World and ‘The Power List’, featuring Britain’s most influential people of African and African-Caribbean heritage.

The School has been running the Worth Leadership Formation course for six years. Held on Saturday mornings from September to the Summer Term, it is a formal course that Year 12 students have to complete if they want to be considered for any positions of responsibility within the School, such as prefect roles, but you do not have to be applying for such roles to undertake the course. The aim is to form students in leadership, as well as showing them how faith connects to leadership.
