Bravery award for Arden Sixth Former
Arden is immensely proud of Sixth Form student Lewis Oseman who has been given a 'Good Citizen' award for his bravery after intervening when he saw a young girl being viciously attacked by an older woman. Without hesitation. Lewis who is 16 years old, approached the woman and physically stopped her from further assaulting the girl. He then called the police and stayed with the girl until local officers arrived.
The son of a retired policeman then made a full statement, providing details of the offender, her identity and details of the car that she drove off in. The woman was later arrested and charged. He was understandably worried about giving evidence but did it because he believed it was his duty and as a result she was found guilty and received a community order with court costs and compensation.
Lewis showed great courage and community spirit from start to finish of this case and is a credit to himself and his family. Arden is privileged to have such a remarkable young man as part of the Arden family and we would all like to acknowledge his bravery and commitment throughout this process - he is indeed a cause for celebration. Well done Lewis.
