Lord Lieutenant Sir John Peace, the Queen’s representative in the county, granted the accolade to Sixth Form after learning about their longstanding commitment to raise money for charity through their annual Effort Week, Foodbank appeals, Christmas fundraising and other charitable efforts throughout the school year.

He presented the award to last year’s Head Girl Maya Green, current Head Boy Connor Fowler and sixth form council charity co-ordinator Jennie Diver at Certificates Evening in December.
