Khalid bin Bandar Al Saud
Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the UK
On Friday the 10th of December we welcomed the Saudi Arabian Prince, HRH Khalid, through our doors. Prince Khalid attended Oxford University and has been living in the UK in his current post for four years. He and his British wife have been raising their children to speak and live both English and Arabic languages and cultures and he has progressive and liberalistic views on how Saudi Arabian culture might grow and change in the future.
HRH spoke to students in the Main Hall for 30 minutes describing the career paths available to students by working in the foreign office. Students learnt about his role as an Ambassador and he spoke about being aspirational and working hard to achieve ones goals. Prince Khalid told students about the geography of his home country and taught them some Arabic. Throughout this interactive talk he took questions from students who asked insightful questions wanting to know more about his country, his experiences and his role. The Ambassador then met with members of the Student Leadership team who told him about our vision and values here and LEIGH learner attributes. This was then followed by a short tour of the Academy.
Next term students will be learning about the Islamic faith in RE and Islamic artwork in Art. In addition, as part of our careers focused Theme of the Fortnight will be watching a video of HRH being interviewed as an Ambassador about Human Rights in Saudi Arabia.
