Speech Day 2026

On Saturday 4th July, we came together to celebrate the achievements of our SFC2 leavers, joined by friends and family.

This year's keynote speaker was Francesca Wild-Brown, Head of Commercial Strategy, The Ladder Group.

Francesca was a day girl at College (2011-2018) before going on to achieve a first-class honours degree in Philosophy and Economics from the London School of Economics. After university, she joined The Ladder Group, a start-up focused on helping young people access and succeed in the workplace. Alongside her work, Francesca was also a founding member of College’s Council Advisory Board, made up of Guild members who support the governors by offering insight and perspective on wider strategic decisions.

We also heard from Executive Principal, Eve Jardine-Young, Chair of Council, Meryl Webster and Senior Prefects Eyimofe and Beeland.
