The Gliding to Solo scheme, sponsored by Boeing UK and delivered by the Air League, has the aim of taking its students from having no prior flying experience to reaching solo level in a glider.
The Air League said: “This year, we are unbelievably proud of all nine students from three inner city schools for completing the two week residential programme at London Gliding Club. Students were presented with certificates from Boeing UK, in the presence of their family, who got to witness the ceremony as well as the gliding that took part throughout the day.”
The London schools who were involved in the programme were as follows:
• All Saints Catholic School, Dagenham
• Space Studio West London, Feltham
• Kingsdale Foundation School, West Dulwich
