The schools - Portland and Barbara Priestman - now have specially etched windows to acknowledge their involvement in a bespoke programme designed by EBC to bring together businesses and young people. Businesses recruited by EBC developed and delivered a range of hands on learning for pupils from the two schools - all designed to give them an insight into the world of work. EBC secured funding from a range of sources including sponsorship from Grundfos Engineering of Ferryboat Lane, Sunderland, to develop and deliver its Celebrating Our Specialness programme. EBC then worked with both the schools and a specialist glass engraver to commission the windows which are now installed in the schools. Click here to see a photograph of one of the windows.
