Selwood Academy held its annual awards ceremony recently.
The academy report, “This is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our pupils. We were very pleased to welcome James Shone to present the pupils with their awards. James founded the charity I Can & I Am, which aims to inspire confidence and to ‘inflate balloons of self-belief’. He visits hundreds of schools and businesses every year speaking to educators, parents, pupils and employees. Valuable funds are raised by the charity to enable the messages of ‘I Can & I Am’ to be spread to as many individuals as possible across the UK and around the world.
“The event was also supported by Frome Town Mayor, cllr Mark Dorrington, cllr Anita Collier and cllr Lizzie Doyle.”
