The school said it was especially wonderful to welcome back its leavers from the class of 2025/26 as they received their A-Level certificates and attended their alma mater to celebrate the outstanding successes of its students.
Jeananne Craig, journalist, author of The Life Swap and former Deputy Head Girl, was guest speaker.
"Jeananne delivered an inspiring address on the importance of saying ‘yes’ to opportunities and embracing new experiences. Reflecting on her career interviewing prominent figures and celebrities, as well as her recent journey to becoming a published author, she shared how a willingness to step outside her comfort zone helped shape the successful career she enjoys today.
“Congratulations to all of our prize winners and students. We are incredibly proud of your hard work, dedication and achievements,” the school said.
