Ludgrove School, Berkshire When it came to unveiling the school’s brand-new Exploration Centre, who better to call on than adventurer and Old Ludgrovian Bear Grylls? The TV personality returned to his alma mater to officially open the £2.5m state-of-the-art facility which houses science, coding, art, CDT and ceramics classrooms. But before Mr Grylls did the ribbon-cutting honours, the whole school gathered in the theatre to hear him speak about his journey and share the three things he believes really matter in life: “we are all explorers in life and will face difficult things,” he explained. “These three things are what really matter: have courage, be kind and have a never-give-up attitude.” The Exploration Centre marks the beginning of a new era of future-led learning for the school.
