It highlights positive role models and raises awareness of men’s well-being. Yesterday, Kirkham Grammar School invited three role models into school to motivate the pupils to believe in themselves and make the most of their time in education. Daniel Armitage, a Senior Financial Planning consultant and business owner, started working in financial services at the age 19. His previous role was a shareholder and partner, head of learning and development for a regional financial advice company. Daniel spoke about his charity work in supporting mental health initiatives across East Lancashire. Terry Holland from the Samaritans spoke about the importance of emotional health and ![](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4238.JPG)why it is important to be aware of how you are feeling, how we can support ourselves and each other in coping with what life throws at us. Jack Barron talked about his change of career into the world of agencies, the motivation behind his decision to start his own business. Thank you to you all for visiting KGS. ![](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4205.JPG)![](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/images/news/IMG_4269(1).JPG) **Tags:** [2019-2020](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2019-2020) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2019-11-18-sports-reports) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2019-11-21-kgs-alice-s-adventures-in-wonderland) - [Mission Statement](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/mission-statement) - [Latest News](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news) - [History of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/history) - [Location & Community](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/location) - [Term Dates](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/termdates) - [Statutory Information](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/statutory-information) - [School Policies](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/policy-documents) - [Calendar](https://calendar.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/week.aspx?ID=158) - [The Kirkhamian](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news-1/the-kirkhamian) - [The Friends of KGS](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/thefriends-of-kgs) - [Old Kirkhamians' Association](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/old-kirkhamians-association) - [Hire of Facilities](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/about-us/hire-of-facilities) - [Vacancies](https://www.kirkhamgrammar.co.uk/vacancies/our-vacancies) ## Kirkham Grammar School ## Kirkham Grammar Junior, Infant & Pre-School Ribby Rd Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BH Tel: **01772 684264** Email: Ribby Road Kirkham Preston Lancashire PR4 2BD Tel: **01772 673222** Email: [![HMC Leading Independent Schools](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/hmc.png)](https://www.hmc.org.uk/)[![Boarding Schools' Association](https://files.schudio.com/kirkham-grammar-school/images/partners/bsa.png)](http://www.boarding.org.uk/) © Copyright 2019–2026 Kirkham Grammar School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
