As part of the third annual Keelelink Awards Ceremony held in May, Dr Jonathan Parker received an award for 'Academic Individual Contribution to Keelelink', in recognition of his excellent work over the past year with respect to the Keelelink programme.

The evening was attended by the Lord and Lady Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, teachers and learners from the division's partner schools and colleges, current undergraduate and postgraduate students, and academics from Keele.  Highlights included a keynote speech from Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nick Foskett, a wonderful performance by the Riff Raff Samba Band from Sir Stanley Matthews Academy, and an adaptation of scenes from the Wizard of Oz, delivered by learners from St. Margaret Ward Catholic College. The evening also showcased a video detailing a week in the life of Keelelink, and the platform to hear perspectives on the impact of the programme from a learner, a student and a teacher.
