Congratulations to Charlotte Robinson from Hereford Unit who has won a trip to South Africa as part of CVQO’s Duke of Westminster Award competition. She joins eight other cadets for a three week trip to South Africa. From 20,000 potential nominees, 21 competitors took part in a challenging selection assessment in April. The nine finalists were selected from 300 nominations, from over 20,000 eligible CVQO learners nationwide. These are young people who possess a wide range of skills and abilities and have overcome personal challenges, as well as demonstrating a consistently high level of commitment to their communities and their peers.
Charlotte says, “I have found through applying to university that competition for spaces is high, and I have been accepted into my first choice university of Bristol. Out of the 1764 applicants for my course, only 122 were given an offer. I believe that CVQO has helped me become one of the lucky ones.”
