Creative Hertfordshire Flame Awards

Our IMPULSE Outreach programme & sixth-form pupil Ruth Dingle were were nominated and short-listed as finalists for the 2014 Creative Hertfordshire Flame Awards. 

The Award finalists included Purcell School’s IMPULSE, Dance Digital’s ‘Once upon a time in Watford’ with music written by Purcell School Year 10 pupils, and Ruth Dingle as an outstanding individual for her spectacular fundraising efforts on behalf of the musical charity ‘Songbound’ and her contribution to the musical community in Sri Lanka.

It was a very special event, which highlighted just how many fantastic projects and creative achievements there are in the schools and communities in Hertfordshire.  

We are very proud of Ruth, who was awarded a special Judges’ Commendation for her work.
