Ed recently recorded a short video to inspire students to consider studying at The Holgate Academy sixth form. Ed talked about his studies after leaving The Holgate Academy that included completing a Masters degree in astrophysics and teacher training. Ed now works as an Education Presenter at The National Space Centre in Leicester where hundreds of children and adults discover the wonders of astronomy and astrophysics.
“Since leaving Holgate I’ve completed a Masters degree in Astrophysics and my PGCE. I now lead workshops at the National Space Centre and have had the opportunity to be interviewed on the radio and podcasts, as well as writing blogs about a wide variety of space topics. A key memory for me was starring as Tony in the school’s production of West Side Story in year 11. My acting exploits didn’t stop there, however, and I now regularly star in musicals and plays for many different amateur societies in Leicester, as well as directing shows too.”
