Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form Students Feature on BBC One Politics Segment Showcasing Diversity in City Careers
Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form is proud to announce that a group of its students appeared on BBC One on Sunday, 15 March, as part of a special BBC Politics feature exploring initiatives to increase diversity among applicants pursuing careers in London’s financial and professional services sectors.
The segment centred on an exclusive City Insight Day, personally hosted by the Lady Mayoress of London. Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form was the only school invited, making the broadcast a significant moment of recognition for the school and its commitment to widening participation and raising aspirations.
The programme spotlighted several of our students, with George, Joshua, Chidinma, and Luka each taking part in individual on‑camera interviews. Their contributions were a major focus of the feature, and viewers will easily recognise their confident presence and thoughtful insights.
The BBC reporter praised the students for the professionalism, poise, and clarity with which they articulated their experiences and perspectives on pursuing competitive careers in the City. They represented Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form with distinction and embodied the ambition and leadership we strive to nurture in all our learners.
This invitation and subsequent BBC feature reinforce our ongoing mission to broaden access to high‑quality career pathways and ensure that students from all backgrounds can see themselves thriving in top industries.
We are immensely proud of these students, whose professionalism, confidence, and ambition reflect the very best of Woolwich Polytechnic Sixth Form.
