School students graduate!

Twenty-five young people from Langdon Park School recently celebrated their graduation from an innovative personal development programme at a lively event in Guildhall's City Marketing Suite. The programme, run by Tower Hamlets Education Business Partnership, aims to keep 'at risk' young people in school and included study weekends, the targeted provision of business mentors, work-related visits to business premises and conferences on topics including conflict resolution, communication skills and work-related activities.

Deputy Joyce Nash OBE, Chairman of the City Bridge Trust Committee, presented each of the graduates with a certificate and congratulated them on their energy and perseverance. She told them, 'You are our future. Soon you will be running this great city of ours. I am proud of your achievements and, more importantly, I hope you are too.'

The project has been supported by the City Bridge Trust.
