We're so proud of Izzy Tolputt for her Head of 6th Form Award!
She's been recognised for going above and beyond in her wonderful work supporting Action Through Enterprise. Izzy did her work experience with us last year - she wrote an amazing article about period poverty and raised over £700 for sanitary pads, but didn't stop there! She's gone on to raise awareness about our work through assemblies at St Johns, and is now heading to Ghana in August to get involved in our work on the ground! She's an inspiration. Well done Izzy, we're so grateful for all you do.

Well done Izzy!
Congratulations 🎊🎉
