of his own.
Lady
Marie Stubbs
Ahead of the Class: How an Inspiring Headmistress Gave
Children Back Their Future
 In
1995 St George’s Roman Catholic School in Maida
Vale hit the headlines when Headmaster Philip Lawrence
was stabbed whilst trying to break up a fight between
one of his own students and a student from a neighbouring
school. In 1998 the school was put into special measures,
and in 2000 St George’s was closed for a week
after the Head was attacked going to help a fellow teacher.
Marie Stubbs
was asked to take over after she left. She spent
a year at St George's where her inspired leadership,
her determination and sheer hard work turned the school
around. But why, with the prospect of a pleasant retirement
on the horizon, did she agree to take it on? Lady Marie
explained how she rose to this extraordinary challenge,
and to what she accredits her success.
"Marie
Stubbs - she was simply outstanding!"

Bear Grylls
 Bear
Grylls became the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest
at only twenty-three years of age, a feat made even
more remarkable as just two years earlier he had a near
fatal parachuting accident, almost severing his spinal
cord. Despite moments of great pain and despair,
Bear worked hard to regain his mobility and with great
persistence he and his team planned their Everest expedition.
Bear entered The Guinness Book of Records on May 26th,
joining only thirty British climbers to have successfully
completed the expedition and return alive.
"Bear
Grylls - inspirational, emotional ... life-changing!"
