Elizabeth meets her namesake…
As Senior Cadet in the Greater Manchester Army Cadet Force, Regimental Sergeant Major Lizzie Nevell has been made Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet of Manchester. This prestigious and sought after position has given Lizzie the opportunity to represent the country as a Standardbearer in France during the Remembrance Day parades and she has also paraded for the Commandant of Sandhurst. Lizzie is to be given the honour of meeting with the Queen and Prince Charles in the near future. Well done, Lizzie.

RAF Sponsorship…
Olivia Lennon-Butler, Year 13, has been awarded a prestigious RAF Sixth Form Sponsorship to study Medicine. Olivia was one of the 80 students selected from a field of 1,600 applicants and was one of the 4 candidates from the Manchester region to gain the award. Well done, especially in the face of such competition. Olivia is currently in the final selection stage for an RAF University Scholarship. She has made it through the final filter interview and fitness test, and at Easter will be visiting RAF Cranwell for aptitude and medical testing. If successful, Olivia will serve as a doctor for 6 years in the RAF. Well done, and good luck!
