    From Rejection to an OBE and Beyond

    We are excited to welcome Floyd Steadman OBE for a special event on Wednesday 11 February, 2026. A former headteacher, Vice President of Saracens FC, and respected education leader, Floyd will share his remarkable journey in his talk, “From Rejection to an OBE and Beyond.”

    Speaking with honesty and insight, Floyd reflects on his experiences from the Windrush generation to leading schools and captaining Saracens FC.
    He will discuss resilience, identity, and overcoming rejection, while challenging audiences to consider unconscious bias, opportunity, and fairness.

    The event is free and open to all—staff, students, parents, neighbours, and colleagues are warmly invited.

    Time: 4.30 - 6.00pm (including Q&A)

    Venue: Brannel School, Rectory Road, St Stephen, St Austell, PL26 7RN
