Further recognition has come in for ESB’s Honorary Vice-President and Trustee, Merriel Halsall-Williams following her recent award of a Fellowship of the prestigious Girls’ Schools Association.

Not only has Merriel received a congratulatory letter from Her Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Shropshire, Mrs Anna Turner JP, praising her for her outstanding achievements but her work has also been acknowledged in the Shropshire Star.

Having been involved with ESB for more than 60 years, Merriel continues to support learners to develop key oracy and literacy skills. ESB’s qualifications inspire a level of confidence which is key to unlocking their potential and raising achievement. The development of effective communication skills, alongside an accredited qualification, gives learners a clear advantage when applying for a place in college, university or in the job market.
