Year 10 Emma found herself on the receiving end of an unexpected personal achievements award which was presented to her during a celebration evening held at the Winter Gardens last weekend.

The ‘You Rock’ awards ceremony is presented by Justuz, a group and meeting place set up for children and young people in Blackpool who are in care or have recently left care. These awards, held every year in March, acknowledge and celebrate these amazing young peoples’ achievements.

Emma gained her recognition because she is doing brilliantly here at Aspire, reaching all her target grades and never missing a day off school, while also working hard on her acting career which she hopes to take further in the future.
