Pupils who completed a summer leadership scheme were recognised at the weekend.

Ryan Robinson Perinchief, the director of the youth programme, said that many participants had achieved tremendous personal growth on the Future Leaders’ programme.

He added: “We couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of this experience with you to even make a small impact in your trajectories.

“We are proud of you, we love you, we have much respect for you and we can’t wait to see where you go from here.”
