Old Willingham Congratulations from Willingham
British School Trust!
The Trustees congratulate every young person in the
village who has, despite the challenges of the last 18
months, gained their required academic grades and will be
starting a university course or apprenticeship this autumn.
The Trust has funds available to help you and your parents
meet the additional, possibly unexpected, costs you are
now having to meet for equipment, field trips and books.
Applications will also be considered from institutions and
voluntary groups seeking financial support to meet the
needs of Willingham’s young people in innovative ways.
After meeting online since March 2020, the Trustees
