Students receive advice from secret millionaire
A "SECRET millionaire" inspired students with tales of his success.
Carl Hopkins visited Park Lane High, Exley, Halifax, to talk to Year 10 and 11 pupils. He spoke about his difficult background on an estate in Leeds.
Dave Watson, head teacher, said: "Our pupils don't always have it easy outside of school so they could empathise with that."
He spoke of how he rose to become chief executive of direct marketing giant JDA and about his time on Channel 4's The Secret Millionaire programme.
Mr Hopkins, 43, of Lightcliffe Road, Brighouse,went undercover to Easington, County Durham, to work as a community warden and gave away 42,000.
