Grants offered to Wooler students
Young people in Glendale who are going on to further education are being invited to apply for grants from a Wooler education trust.
The Robson Patterson Ancrum Endowment Fund supports former pupils of Glendale Middle School who are continuing their studies.
Last year the trust was able to provide grants of £150 to six former pupils to help with books, IT and other equipment they needed for their courses.
"The trust uses the interest on its capital and, although interest rates have continued to be poor this year, we are still able to award grants," says treasurer Ian Thompson .
The Robson, Patterson and Ancrum Educational Trust fund was originally started in 1965 with monies collected for a retirement presentation to Aiden Robson, the first head teacher of Glendale County Secondary School. It has since been added to through a behest by the late Jackie Patterson and donations from Mr and Mrs Roy Ancrum.
Any former Glendale Middle School pupil who would like to apply for a grant should send their name and contact details as well as information about the course and the college or university to Ian Thompson, Westfield, Gallowlaw, Burnhouse Road, Wooler, NE71 6ST. Applications should be made by November 30, 2011.
