#IAm project

This year, we have launched a new project call #IAm. It was inspired by a similar initiative called I Weigh which celebrates everyone for who they are and founded by Jameela Jamil. We, at Laycock, are celebrating everything that makes our chosen role models who they are both as a well known person and a human being within our curriculum.
