On Monday 27th February, Dame Frances Cairncross spoke in assembly as part of our Women Of Influence lecture series.

She discussed the incredible improvements she had seen in women’s lives during her lifetime, particularly focusing on job opportunities, the introduction of the contraceptive pill, and improvements in vaccinations, and how these things led to women leading far more autonomous, fulfilled, and longer lives. She inspired the girls to embrace these developments, and seize opportunities when they presented themselves.

Many thanks to Dame Frances Cairncross for coming in and giving such a wonderfully informative and engaging assembly.
