Harry Freeman, who was nominated as Student of the Year at the alternative learning facility, received the Rotary Tony Field Award, certificate and a cheque on his final day as a pupil.

Staff at The Hub chose Harry because his progress since joining had been exceptional.

He committed to working in farming and during the holidays and as work experience, helped a local farmer, including assisting at lambing time.

Harry has now secured a place at Brooksby Melton College, where he will start his course in land based studies in September.

Tony Field, who sadly died last year, was a member of the Rotary Club of Melton Mowbray Belvoir, and in his Will left a legacy which is being used by the club to support the education of one outstanding young person each year.
