Elliott Ward and Gary Borrowdale took time out last night to celebrate the achievements of over 60 local students.The children had all completed a Playing for Success after-school course based in the Partnership Centre at the Ricoh Arena. The scheme offers literacy, numeracy and ICT support to children from local schools.
The players presented the successful students with certificates and then stayed around for photos and autographs.
Children from Hill Farm Primary, Park Gate Primary, Whitmore Park Primary, Stoke Park School and Community Technology College, Caludon Castle Business and Enterprise Specialist School, Cardinal Newman Catholic School and Community College and The Woodlands School and Sports College were all in attendance. There were also a group of home-educated students who had completed the course.
