Chichester High School head boy Joss Edwards has won an award for going the extra mile.

The GEM Award was launched this year by Lancing transport firm South Link, to recognise Sussex secondary school students who have gone the extra mile and deserve to be awarded for their achievement.

Joss was nominated by Victoria Smith, vice principal at Chichester High School, for the outstanding contribution he makes to the community.

She said: “Joss is an outstanding role model to all students and we’re all delighted he has received a GEM Award.

“As well as spending time helping others, he is also a hard-working, intelligent and high-achieving student. Due to his innovative ideas, likeable personality and determination, the sixth form is the strongest it’s ever been.

“Joss has been accepted at a university in Canada, where he will continue to study geography, and will be greatly missed by everyone at the school.”

Joss spends much of his time dedicated to helping others at the school and in the area. He devotes a considerable amount of his free time to volunteering for PASCO, a Chichester-based charity which supports children with disabilities and special educational needs, where he works as a personal assistant to young people with severe autism.
