24th Sep 2022Sixth former Seth is the deserving winner of this award sponsored by Hornsey Parochial Charities in memory of Barbara Simon, a trustee of the charity for many years. It is presented annually to a student who has shown exceptional achievement and potential in an arts subject.
Seth received his certificate and a cheque for £500 from Jennifer Mann, chairperson of the charity, on September 16.
Well done, Seth, and a big thank you to Jennifer and the Hornsey Parochial trustees.
Barbara Simon was an enthusiastic supporter of access to education for everyone, so it is fitting for an award to be given for educational purposes in her name. She worked selflessly and tirelessly in voluntary work and her devotion to duty made her a pivotal member of three school governor boards, local groups and the Labour Party. She was also a local councillor in Haringey and played an instrumental role in getting a purpose-built site for the Blanche Neville School for deaf children.
