Child of Courage award by the Nottingham Rotary Club

We are incredibly proud to share that Riley, a much-loved student at Oakwood, was recently honoured with the Child of Courage award by the Nottingham Rotary Club. This prestigious event, which recognises exceptional young people across the region, featured keynote speaker Richard Whitehead MBE, was hosted by Colin Fray and celebrated the remarkable resilience and determination of students like Riley. Despite facing immense challenges, Riley continued to work hard at school and remained a positive presence within the Oakwood community—most memorably showcasing his talents by DJ-ing at Oakwood’s Got Talent.

Riley received his award at the ceremony alongside his Head of House and family members, who proudly supported him throughout the evening. His courage, perseverance, and commitment to school life are an inspiration to us all, and we are delighted to see his achievements recognised in such a meaningful way. Riley embodies the values we strive to uphold at Oakwood and across the Redhill Trust.
