Royal visit recognises Achievement for All

On Wednesday 29th November, Newbury based charity, Achievement for All, welcomed Her Royal Highness, The Countess of Wessex GCVO, at Park House.

The visit saw The Countess of Wessex celebrate the work of the charity in transforming the lives of children and young people across England and Wales.

Her Royal Highness met with students, parents and staff along with Achievement for All who have been working collectively to ensure all children and young people are able to achieve.

Sonia Blandford, CEO of Achievement for All said: “It was an absolute honour to have The Countess of Wessex come and see the work of the charity with Park House school."

Derek Peaple said: “We have been working in partnership with Achievement for All for seven years with a hugely positive impact on student and parental engagement in learning. The partnership has been all about working as a team for the benefit of our students and their all-round progress and personal development as individuals. It is a great privilege and pleasure to be able to share and celebrate those achievements with Her Royal Highness”.

Achievement for All is a leading not-for-profit organisation working in partnership with early years settings, schools and colleges, improving outcomes for all children and young people from two-19 years of age in almost 4,500 schools, colleges, and early years settings to date.

During the visit, Her Royal Highness was also treated to a rousing number from Sister Act, our forthcoming musical which will be performed at Arlington Arts from 17 to 19 January 2018.
