Four CVC and CSF students have received more than £1000 from the Henry Morris Memorial Trust in the latest round of applications for funding for ‘projects with purpose’.

Students Karima (11V) and Roan (12SA) gained £300 each to support with their independently planned travel to Italy (Karima) and Vienna (Roan)

In the sixth form, Alex (13LP) and Ben (13KS) received funding for some very different projects. Alex applied for funding to enable him to make his first music album and Ben received a grant to help him design and engineer a solar PV electrical system for his camper van!
