Calling all former John O'Gaunt pupils...

If you are a former pupil who would like to support current students, the school would love to hear from you.
Thanks to funding from Hungerford Town Council, Greenham Common Trust and John O’Gaunt Parent School Association (PSA), the school has registered with the charity Future First to set up an alumni scheme to support the school.
It doesn’t matter when you left John O'Gaunt; whether you’re in further education or employment, whether you still live nearby or have moved further away - there are still many ways you can help your old school - as career and education role models, mentors, work experience providers, governors, donors or fundraisers.

Managing director of Future First, Alex Shapland-Howes, said: “More than 39 per cent of state school students don’t know anyone in a job they’d like to do. If they see that someone who went to the same school, grew up in the same community, has achieved a fulfilling and satisfying job, it helps them see it’s possible for them too.
“It’s really important for all students to be motivated to succeed in the working world and hearing first hand from people they can relate to in interesting jobs can make a huge difference.”
A spokeswoman for the PSA, Debi Arden-Hunt, said: “We signed up to Future First’s scheme straight away. A network of past pupils with all their valuable experience will be vital in helping us to broaden current pupils’ jobs horizons and equip them for the world of work.”
