Winston Solicitors hold Court at Woodkirk Academy

Practice Manager, Jean Kennedy, and Family Solicitor, Joanna Wrigley, went back to school last week but this time they were the ones being called ‘Miss’.

Woodkirk Academy played host to a Careers Fair for over 500 students from the school. Among the exhibitors were the RAF, Army and West Yorkshire Police to mention just a few.

The students were able to speak to the Winston Staff to get advice on a career in law. Joanna was able to share her experience of becoming a solicitor and reminisce about her school life as she had attended Woodkirk herself.

Joanna said: ‘Going back to school and seeing the teachers again was a surreal experience but a thoroughly enjoyable one as I got the opportunity to speak to students who were considering a career in law and provided them with an insight into my day-to-day life as a family solicitor. I felt as though the students were genuinely enthused and appreciated the advice Jean and I gave and we have received extremely positive feedback from Woodkirk Academy.’
