Richard Knightley, deputy headteacher at Atelier 21, said: “Morgan delivered an inspirational, open and frank presentation about his experiences, and the opportunities that were seized upon and led to his success.

"He really reached those children that are leading their own projects within school, preparing for our business fair. Morgan underpinned all that we do at Atelier 21, and I look forward to meeting with him again the future.”

The school said students were very interested in Morgan’s informative and at times quirky presentation.
