THE HEADTEACHER’S CREDIT VALUES AWARD WAS PRESENTED TO BENEDICT SIMPSON-ALEXANDER, JAKE PERCIVAL AND ANTH EDWARDS IN YEAR 13.

They were nominated by Miss Dunwoodie who said: “Anth, Jake and Benedict have delivered assemblies all this week on the subject of men’s mental health and they have honestly been superb. This is such a tricky topic area and requires a high degree of humility, intellect and care to deliver it well. The boys have definitely achieved this. I have had a number of lads from a variety of year groups post assembly telling me it has been one of the best they have had and how fantastic it has been to hear from male role models in the sixth form. Anth, Jake and Benedict have been candid and honest and each assembly has been a joy to witness – from the reactions and complete attention of each year group to the positive messages delivered brilliantly. These are the things that get you into teaching and remind you why you do the job; seeing these fantastic young men stand up and positively impact the lives of younger students. 

They have all delivered the assembly on a challenging topic far better than we ever thought possible and we are so proud of them for being shining examples to the rest of the School and College.”
