TREVOR CHADWICK AWARD
Congratulations to Rory, to whom we have awarded this year's Trevor Chadwick Memorial Trophy. This award is given to a student who undertakes a particular act of help, support or kindness benefitting the community. Such an act of kindness must mimic Chadwick's work in being entirely altruistic, with no gain or benefit to the student.

Rory was nominated for his work on our Green Space, to which he has dedicated over 150 hours of time over the past few years, for the benefit of those in our school community who use the space and are inspired to continue developing it.

The Trevor Chadwick Award trophies were kindly donated to the school by the Trevor Chadwick Memorial Trust.

The Trevor Chadwick Trust have achieved their goal of raising a statue to Trevor Chadwick, a local teacher who helped rescue children from the holocaust via the kindertransport. They have kindly donated their remaining funds to help fund new skatepark equipment in Swanage! Thanks you 🛴

This is a huge donation and will kick off building the second phase of the skatepark redevelopment - bringing even more ramps and bringing new riders and flow.
Stay tuned for an important update coming soon.
