Michelle Hickland, Deputy Head of School and Manager for the Award at SERC said, “We are absolutely delighted to recognise our amazing students who have achieved Bronze and Silver Awards. The achievement is particularly poignant because many of these students have specific barriers to learning and have therefore exceeded personal goals."
