From Mr John Wilson
Head of Senior School
Duke of Kent Senior School is the perfect setting for your child's journey from the end of childhood to the verge of adulthood. In the classroom, on the sports field, in the art studio or on the stage, all pupils can find opportunities to test their abilities and to find areas in which they can excel. We recognise the strengths and individuality of each of our pupils, harness their abilities, and allow them to flourish.
We were fortunate to be joined by Sarah Blundell, a senior medical advisor at Pfizer, on Monday. Sarah shared her career path and role in the pharmaceutical sector. Thank you for inspiring us Sarah. #TheDoKWay #CareersTalk #STEM #SurreySchools #IndependentSchools https://t.co/mnr6FWSULz
