King’s Park Pupils Gain Insight into Morgan Stanley

During the October holidays, two pupils from King’s Park Secondary School, Max Jagielka (S5) and Harry Grant (S6), took part in the Morgan Stanley Insight Week, a programme designed to give young people a closer look at the world of finance, technology, and professional careers.

Throughout the week, pupils took part in a range of workshops and activities that encouraged teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. Participants also heard from a variety of speakers at different career stages — from pre-graduates to experienced professionals — who offered valuable advice on preparing for interviews, developing employability skills, and exploring career pathways in technology.

This inspiring experience has motivated our pupils to consider future opportunities such as graduate apprenticeships in areas including Information Security, Technology Risk, and Cyber Security.

We’re very proud of our pupils for representing King’s Park Secondary so well and for taking such enthusiasm into this fantastic learning opportunity.
