Our Year 12 students dressed to impress as they stepped up to the challenge of their first mock interviews with local businesses. This invaluable experience gave them a taste of the professional world, helping them build confidence and refine their interview skills.

They were highly impressed by the professionalism and thoughtful responses given by our students, reinforcing the importance of preparation and communication in the interview process.

As a token of our appreciation, we treated our business partners to a delicious lunch, thanking them for their time and expertise. It was a fantastic day of learning, growth, and networking for everyone involved!

Inspiring the Next Generation: Glen Wheeler’s Culinary Journey

17th March 2025

As part of our Careers Week, we were delighted to welcome back past pupil Glen Wheeler, now a celebrated chef at 28 At the Hollow. Glen joined our Year 12 students to share his journey in the culinary world and showcase his exceptional cooking skills.

During his visit, Glen prepared two stunning dishes— a rich and creamy mushroom risotto and a perfectly cooked fillet of beef. The best part? We all got to taste them, and they were absolutely delicious!

Born and raised in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, Glen’s passion for food took him far beyond his hometown. Determined to refine his craft, he trained under renowned chef Neven Maguire and became a head chef by the age of 24. His pursuit of excellence led him to some of the world's most prestigious kitchens, including Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants in London, the three-Michelin-starred Alinea in Chicago, and the globally acclaimed Noma in Copenhagen.

In 2018, Glen took a leap of faith and opened his own restaurant, 28 Darling Street in Enniskillen, alongside his wife, Zara, who manages the front of house. Nestled in a picturesque corner of Ireland, the restaurant has become a must-visit destination for food lovers.

We are incredibly grateful to Glen for taking the time to inspire our students, sharing his experiences, and, of course, treating us to an unforgettable culinary experience. His journey is a testament to hard work, passion, and the pursuit of excellence—qualities we hope to instill in all our students.
