Staff from The Wellington Academy joined representatives from local secondary schools and Andover College to sign an Educational Covenant.
The agreement sets out a joint commitment to help pupils from military families receive the same opportunities and advantages as children from non-military families.
Andover College 6th Form hosted the event, which marked the culmination of a year-long Military Champion initiative to ensure that pupils from a military background receive the same opportunities and advantages which children from non-military families enjoy.
