We're incredibly grateful to OLs Maria Oniscu (2017) and Finn Dobson (2015) for visiting Loretto to speak with pupils as part of Futures Week 2024. 

Futures Week aims to support and inspire Lower Sixth pupils as they approach their final year at Loretto, and start thinking about life beyond the School. Much work is done to get ahead on UCAS applications and personal statements, but pupils are also encouraged to think about alternative career pathways and options.

Maria and Finn spoke openly and eloquently during their session about 'life after Loretto' and their experiences with further education. They both had lots of valuable advice to share under the prevailing message that pupils should be open to whatever comes next, and that not all education and career paths are linear - in fact, very few are!

They all found the session hugely helpful, with many commenting that it was especially good to hear from OLs who had followed the same school path.
