Last week we had the pleasure of hosting a small gathering for all our Oxbridge students and their families, along with our friends from the students’ secondary schools and Redcar & Cleveland’s Children’s Councillor, Bill Suthers.
The students were each presented with a book token for all their hard work and Principal, Asma Shaffi, shared a few words of appreciation for the families and secondary schools, all of whom instil aspirations from a very early age.
Councillor Bill Suthers also shared some words of support and encouragement with the students as well of a few anecdotes of his own.
It was lovely to get everyone together and congratulate the students for all their hard work, as well as hear about their hopes and wishes for the future.
Many thanks to everyone who attended, it was lovely to put faces to names at long last!
We look forward to catching up with everyone again in August.
