Sarah Cullen, Head of Destinations, said: “Receiving a bursary can be a life-changing experience for a student. Thank you to our partners for their ongoing support and generosity. Their investment will go a long way in helping our students achieve their goals.”
Ishmael Pemberton, Year 13 student from Ark Academy and an Urbanest recipient, said: “For me, this bursary is more than just financial aid; it shows that someone believes in me and my potential.”
We wish all our students good luck as they wait for their results!
