Two GMS students have been instrumental in bringing about the King’s Award for Voluntary Service at Marlow FM. It is the highest honour a voluntary group can receive in the UK; it recognises the outstanding contribution volunteers make to their local communities.
Kayla D and Thomas F, both in KS3 were interviewed last year by the Deputy Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire and the Assistant Clerk, who were assessing the impact of Marlow FM on the local community.
The Deputy Lord-Lieutenant singled out the radio station’s link with local schools and the number of young presenters who enjoy being involved in broadcasting to the Marlow community.
A grand total of 32 young presenters have featured on Marlow FM on ‘Stuart on Sunday‘. Mr Ross wants to build on the partnership of GMS and Marlow FM by opening opportunities to our students like last year’s three-hour GCSE special.
Below is the emblem of The King’s Service Award and a photograph of three GMS Sixth Formers, who successfully presented an hour-long radio show in October. Well done to them.
