Elizabeth joined us at Cathedral Academy for a whole day of talks. She spoke to entire year groups and the feedback from ALL staff and students who heard her speak was exceptional. She was inspirational and very open to discussing her journey and disability. Elizabeth encouraged the audience to ask questions and she was very receptive to answering all their questions. It was a pleasure to welcome her into our Academy
