Northleigh House School, which was set up in 2012 by Viv and Fred Morgan to provide education for children in such circumstances, hosted a pupils’ exhibition - which will tomorrow (July 2) transfer to Stratford Arthouse and remain on display there until July 13.

The event also featured a raffle, refreshments, textile goods for sale made by the pupils and a ‘fun photobooth’ run by the youngsters.

The exhibition was declared open by ten-year-old Daisy, who took part in a 130-mile cycle with her dad in May and has so far raised around £1,000 for the school.

The school, in Five Ways Road, caters for a maximum of 19 pupils at a time, who are able to continue their education and rebuild their confidence and self-esteem, which then enables them to move on from Northleigh to colleges of further education or to work placements.
