The morning awards ceremony was followed by a dinner in the evening where students and staff ‘let their hair down’ and celebrated another successful year.

Andrew Thomas, Principal of the School said, “This was a wonderful event and my congratulations go to all our students.  I love graduation and this is possibly the best I have ever attended.  It is really exciting to hear of all the achievements in the 6th Form, what our students are going on to read at University, and where in the world they travel too next.  This is an exciting new chapter that they started to write today, and I know we will continue to read about their successes in the very near future”.

We wish all our students all the very best for their final exams and their exciting futures.
