The visit, part of a series of inspections due to take place by the armed and uniformed services, was the first of the year – and the students pulled out all the stops to make sure it was perfect.

Rex Boban, a Level 2 student from W Group, and Zoe White, a Level 3 Cadet Group student, were named the best-dressed students on parade.

Mary Graham, senior officer at Highpoint, and Chris Earnshaw, operational support officer at Highpoint, carried out the inspection before delivering a careers talk to the students.

“We were very, very impressed with the students on parade. I thought they were very professional and regimented. They were obviously very proud of what they do,” said Officer Graham.

Dale Turner, head of Uniformed Public Services at CRC, said the students had shown immense commitment and put on a parade to be proud of.

“They were all outstanding and put on a very impressive parade for the inspection by the prison officers,” he said.
