Year 11 students started their day with a powerful boost of motivation as Myerscough College delivered an engaging and thought‑provoking assembly focused on ambition, effort, and future pathways.

The session captured students’ attention from the outset, offering clear and practical messages about what it takes to succeed beyond secondary school. Representatives from Myerscough highlighted the importance of every GCSE, reminding students that each subject contributes to the opportunities available to them after Year 11. Whether aiming for college, apprenticeships, or future careers, the qualifications they earn now form the foundation of those next steps.

A central theme of the assembly was taking ownership of their future. Students were encouraged to think proactively about their goals, explore their options, and make informed decisions that align with their interests and aspirations. Myerscough’s team emphasised that success isn’t accidental — it’s built through deliberate choices and consistent effort.

They also reinforced a message that resonates strongly at this point in the academic year: the extra work students put in now will open doors later. With GCSE exams approaching, the assembly served as a timely reminder that commitment, resilience, and focus can make a significant difference.

The visit left students feeling energised and more aware of the opportunities ahead. Assemblies like this play a vital role in helping young people recognise their potential and understand the steps they can take to achieve it.
