The great news is that Tangu has passed Form 4 national examinations and will be allocated a Form 5 place to study at A level. She is the first Mayega Children’s Centre young person to achieve this major step. Tangu was 5th equal out of the 146 pupils in her year who sat the Form 4 exams. Christine has released funds for a celebration party!
It is a real testament to the educational support provided at the Centre, involving Teacher Reni, Patron Emma and our trustee, Jenny Wallen. We always hoped that attainment would improve as younger children came through the programme, influenced by an enhanced educational culture and a growing belief in being able to succeed at school.
