One of our goals is to continue growing the number of alumni involved in providing insight, inspiration and work experience opportunities to current pupils at the school.

If you are interested in providing work experience opportunities for current students, or if you would be willing to come into school to share your own experiences through a masterclass or as part of a careers day, the school and the Trust can support you throughout the process. Please contact our Director, Will Durham, at wdurham@williamellis.camden.sch.uk, copying in the William Ellis Head of Careers, Horace Parry, at hparry@williamellis.camden.sch.uk

Hear from an alumni already involved in this:

John Simmons (pictured above right) made a donation in 2025 to the school library and volunteered his time to come in and lead a session for some enthusiastic young readers. His talk covered his love of literature, how reading has been a constant pleasure in his life and how it has helped shape his successful career. You can read about John’s experience and motivation in his own words on his excellent blog here.
