Year 9 students at Winston Churchill had an inspiring end to their first week back after Easter on Friday 20th when Peter Gordon of 96.4 Eagle Radio in Guildford was in school to give a stimulating talk about his approach to life and the many things he has done in his career. Peter Gordon, known on air as PG, is Programme Director and presenter of the breakfast show on 96.4 The Eagle. Born in Guildford and educated at Cranleigh School and the University of York where he began his career as a presenter on the student radio station. Starting his career in radio making tea, he joined the BBC as a feature presenter. Peter has been with The Eagle since its launch and was the first presenter to speak on the new station when it went on air on 4 January 1996.
The event was part of an innovative programme for Woking secondary schools – Invest in Your Success – organised by SATRO and funded by Woking Borough Council which has also included a Careers Day and a ‘Radio Rockz’ Challenge in which students learn how to produce a good radio jingle.
The Invest in Your Success programme gives young people a great opportunity to think about their futures at a really crucial time.
