HENRY Box School pupil Alex Barnes, 15, from Witney, has graduated from the Unlocking Potential mentoring scheme.

The programme, supported by the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, pairs teenagers who have faced personal challenges with Team GB Olympians and elite athletes to help them carry out community projects.

Alex, who organised a football tournament for pupils at his school, was helped by two-time Paralympic gold medal-winning swimmer Graham Edmunds.
