St-Eds recently held their annual Awards Ceremony. Prizes were presented by High Sherriff of Norfolk, Richard Gurney DL, Lord Mayor, Dr Kevin Maguire, Clive Lewis MP and Jay Mehta, representing NFCI. The centre offers vocational training and support for young people who have not prospered in traditional education settings. They managed a very successful year in terms of learner achievements, despite the difficulties presented by the pandemic.

Chair, Mr David Fullman, paid tribute to the efforts of both the students and the tremendously committed staff team led by CEO, Lorraine Bliss MBE who was also celebrating an incredible 30 years at the helm. Lorraine referred to the loneliness of these young people being trapped in a feeling of failure. The poignant message this year was that no young person would ever be alone whilst St Eds was there to support them.

“St-Eds dedication to helping students succeed is very clear. Even through the pandemic, they all worked incredibly hard to ensure this happened. They have all been supportive but also ensured my son understood there are expectations he has to meet to prepare him for work. I can’t thank them enough for the support on his course and emotionally.”
