Former pupil spotlight with Erin Cornwell, class of 2015
Wednesday, 31 January 2024

At St Margaret’s, we create an environment where there is no gender stereotype and pupils are empowered to have high aspirations and work hard towards their goals.

“I undoubtedly benefited massively from the nurturing environment at school where I was encouraged to find the right path for me,” shared class of 2015 alumna, Erin Cornwell. “St Margaret's is amazing for allowing you to do so much alongside your studies.”

After graduating with a First-Class degree from RGU in International Business Management, Erin was accepted into the Mountbatten Programme and worked in New York during the COVID lockdowns, demonstrating the confidence and resilience which she had consistently displayed since her school days at St Margaret's.

“I always felt cared for and encouraged at school which has definitely contributed to who I am both personally and professionally today. A lot of the values we are taught at St Margaret's I have definitely held close in my time post-school.”

Erin is now thriving in her current exciting role as a production coordinator at Sky Sports for the Formula 1 team:

“At school we were continually reminded of how valuable our input was and to tackle challenges head on. Knowing my worth has allowed me to push myself to continually improve and reach for more. I was more than ready to work in a male-dominated sport and I am pleased to work with fearless women who keep pushing the boundaries of what is possible."
