Date published: 23 November 2016


Jack Mannion, Ted Ames, Bailey Platzer, Bradley Kirkham, Billy Tomkins and Tyler Mills helped an elderly lady who was distressed. The Wardle students reassured the woman and took care of her while waiting for the police to come and assist.

Wardle Deputy Headteacher, Jon Skurr said “I was delighted that on Monday morning, I received news that a group of our young people have made such a positive difference within our community.

“As a school, we are incredibly proud of the positive impact our students make and this group of young men are a fantastic representation of the ethos and values that the school works hard to pass on to all members of the Academy’s community.”

The students have received praise within the school for their efforts and have been awarded school merit points for the good deed.
