Oxford University X Ghetto Film School: Women in Film

On Monday 12th May Year 12 students visited Oxford University to take part in an all-day series of lectures and film screenings. This event, organised by Ghetto Film School and the University, celebrated the role of women across the film and cinema industry. After a showcase of films by emerging women directors, we heard fascinating talks from female industry leaders including directors, casting agents, and screen writers, as well as actresses Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Simone Ashley. The students also enjoyed a tour of Jesus College and visited the Sheldonian lecture theatre.

The post Oxford University X Ghetto Film School: Women in Film appeared first on Mulberry Academy Shoreditch.

On Tuesday 10th August, Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Ltd released a video on social media capturing the life-changing work experience opportunity attended by our amazing #MulberrySTEM Academy students in July.

The Year 12 students from Mulberry School for Girls and Mulberry Academy Shoreditch, completed a week long residential placement at the headquarters of Mercedes-Benz Grand Prix Ltd in Brackley.

The students were selected following a rigorous interview process and all had an interest in studying engineering at university. During the week they were immersed in working life, from 9.00am-5.00pm, in full team uniform. They worked across five different departments including aerodynamics, test and develop, as well as design.

They also had the opportunity to professionally network with employees and senior staff.

This was a phenomenal and once in a lifetime opportunity and we are very grateful to MGP for making this happen.

All the students had such an incredible time and we are so grateful for the beautiful memory.
