More than 400 people from Mildenhall College Academy attended the special evening in which students from across the school were awarded prizes for their outstanding efforts and achievements.

Special mentions from the more than 100 pupils who were recognised include Keri John, who received the Services to the Community award for her work with Mildenhall Scouts, her mentoring of younger students in the academy, and her work as a sports leader with local primary schools.

Hannah Rogers received a 100pc attendance award for never having a day off during nine years and Rebecca Abeyasekere and Finlay Boyle were recognised for their GCSE results.

Susan Byles, Principal, said: “It was a great evening. It was really wonderful to see so many people attend and to see the students presented with their prizes.”
