Taking the school motto Per Unitatem Virtus as their inspiration, youngsters at English Martyrs Catholic School and Sixth Form College, in Catcote Road, Hartlepool, have launched the Strength Through Unity Group.

The group will celebrate diversity and promote positive inclusion by talking about issues that are important to young people today.
