Stuart spent more than 20 years in media working for a decade at the BBC at Media City UK in Salford. First and Second Year pupils enjoyed listening to Stuart's time at school, his career path to date and his desire to write which culminated in him publishing his first book, 'Izzy and the Tumble Thunder'. The pupils were given the chance to ask Stuart any questions they had before being given the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of his book. During break time, Stuart also held a career's drop in session for our Fourth Year to Sixth Form pupils – great timing given next week is National Careers Week. **Tags:** [2022-2023](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/2022-2023) [Careers](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/tag/careers) - [ previous](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2023-03-09-fifth-year-charity-week) - [next ](http://www.kirkhamgrammarjnr.co.uk/news/2023-03-13-sports-reports-week-beginning-6-march-2023) - [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/)
