University professors, world champions, England footballers, scientists, authors…the list of former Crowborough students who have gone on to success is impressively long.
And as Beacon Academy invites the latest batch of school leavers to join the growing ranks of its alumni, it also wants to expand its network of friends and supporters.
The school’s network is no longer exclusively available to Beacon students, past and present. It is now also possible for parents, local employers and supporters of the school to join our network of supporters.
A spokesperson for the school said: “Becoming part of our alumni network is a fantastic way to for people to enhance their CV but also use their ongoing experience and knowledge to support younger students.
“We love hearing from our former students, celebrating their successes and supporting their journeys. Just some of those stories are on our Alumni website page – inspiring stories from Beacon artists, filmmakers, financial advisors, scientists, engineers, geologists, and more.
She added that becoming part of the network benefits everyone. It can:
- Promote employability – support Beacon Academy by becoming an integral part of our Careers Advice programme. Share knowledge and experience, become a mentor, or provide work experience opportunities.
- Stay connected – stay up to date with the latest news, views, events, and stay in touch with your peers.
- Networking – expand your professional network and introduce those who could provide a valuable service to Beacon.
- Fundraising – support events by volunteering, providing contacts, or donating.
- Boost your CV – volunteer, develop valuable skills such as public speaking, network for careers advice or work experience, keep in touch and stay involved.
