“The award presentations followed on from this and there were plenty of happy tears. It was a such lovely evening and enjoyed by everyone.  There were over 30 individual awards given out, each with the reason that particular student had been awarded theirs.

“We hope that we created an evening that will be remembered fondly by our award winners and their families. Well done to them all, we are so incredibly proud of them and their achievements.”
