Weston College has launched its first annual Sports Bursary Awards worth £2,500.

Five students have each been given £500 to support sport at a regional, national or international level. Sports co-ordinator Sabrina Page said: “We are delighted to launch this bursary to go towards costs of training or competing in each student’s sport.

“Applicants are expected to compete throughout the year of the award and promote Weston College when training or competing as well as show they can manage their academic work.”

The Sports Bursary Award winners are Lewis Mulhull, kickboxing, Adam Fisher, rugby, Jade Cope, golf, Jack Nicholson, football, and Daniel Jackson, football.
