Bright former students at Twickenham School have pledged to return to run Aspiration Classes as part of the new Elite Alumni programme at the school.
They will take the form of face-to-face and remote sessions giving top tips on A-Levels, degrees and career pathways to inspire their former classmates.
Those who have agreed to take part include students who have left in the last year as well as those at university and have secured prestigious career paths.
Former student Monique Smith, 16, from Twickenham, left with nearly all grade 9s at GCSE last year and is now studying at Tiffin School.
