We had a great assembly this morning by Britain’s Manliest Man
– RAF officer and testicular cancer survivor Flight Lieutenant Alun “Peps” Pepper 43, who visited the school to talk to the Year 10 students.
He was crowned “Britain’s Manliest Man” fighting off more than 1,000 fellow applicants to win the nationwide competition, which was organised by a men’s grooming brand, fitness magazine and cancer charity.
Alun, originally from Crewe, spoke to the students about how he became an RAF fighter pilot and the determination it took after several knock backs. He also spoke to the boys about his testicular cancer and raised their awareness of the disease.
