Weston Education Partnership Launch | Weston Education Partnership

The Weston Education Partnership which includes the Weston Federation of Schools launched in January 2004. The Federation includes the 4 secondary and 2 special schools in the town. Our schools work together to provide the highest possible quality of education by responding to the individual needs of learners.

This was our very first Weston Education Partnership Young Citizens of the Year Awards. Guest speakers for the evening included, our Town Mayor, Councillor Astra Brand and Tracy Hayler, Chief Superintendent of Avon and Somerset Constabulary.

In addition, the following guests helped us celebrate our event:

Chris Flint , Chair of the Federation Strategic Management Board;
Sue Walker, Health & Wellbeing Co-ordinator, North Somerset LEA and
Judi Harper, Executive Director - Curriculum & Entrepreneurship, Weston College.

All of whom kindly agreed to assist in the presentation of certificates and awards.

A special thanks was given to our young musicians from Worle Community School for entertaining us on arrival with their wonderful music.

This was a really important event for Weston-super-Mare. We wanted to recognise and reward young people who through their acts of citizenship make a valuable contribution to their community. The most exciting thing was that the students who collected awards and certificates on the evening were just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more young people out there making a real difference to the lives of others, both in our town and beyond. We must remember that these young people are Weston's future and we should be doing everything to recognise their achievements so that others are inspired to follow in their footsteps.
