Alice Afford (Née Pickin) Visits Princethorpe To Discuss Commercial Enterprise

It was a pleasure to welcome OP Alice Afford (Pickin) to Princethorpe on Tuesday 21 January, when she combined a trip down memory lane with a professional networking opportunity.

Alice was a pupil at Princethorpe from 2005 to 2012 and is now Commercial Manager for Northampton High School. Alice returned to Princethorpe to meet with the Foundation's Commercial Enterprises Manager, Gemma Cullinane. Over coffee, they discussed the current climate, the importance of commercial enterprise, and how to work together as a sector to ensure schools are successful.

They were then joined by Alumni Relations and Development Officer, Caroline Spencer, who accompanied them on a wander around the campus, so that Alice could see how her old school has evolved over the past 12 years. When asked if she was still in touch with any friends from her school days, Alice named Katie Smith as a friend with whom she is still in touch but has not been able to see for several years. Happily, Katie now works at Princethorpe as Bursary Assistant, so Alice was able to surprise Katie in her office, and they enjoyed catching up before Alice had to head home. 

Former pupils and parents are always welcome to come back for a visit. Simply email oldprincethorpians@princethorpe.co.uk to arrange a date.
