Charters School Year 13 Presentation Evening: The year group caught up with teachers, family and friends prior to the prize-giving and presentation of examination certificates. As a cohort their results were excellent and the students should all be extremely proud of what they have achieved. Ultimately the results are down to their hard work, but hopefully the support from their Tutors and subject teachers also helped them to achieve the best possible outcomes, in what was an incredibly difficult two years throughout the pandemic.
Guest speaker for the event was former student Josh Taylor; he completed his undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Italian at the University of Oxford last summer and is now studying for his Masters. He spoke eloquently, encouraging students to make the most of every opportunity and to enjoy the uncertainty that change brings.
Head of Sixth Form, Mrs Kate Hill said “It was a real pleasure to recognise the successes of the year group and to celebrate individual achievements.” K J Smith Solicitors sponsored the event and Mrs Kulbir Rahi, who is a partner at the firm, presented subject prizes and cups to the students.
This year the prestigious Peyton Cup was won by Kaya. This cup is awarded to the student who demonstrates the attributes which the school wishes to instil in its students and personifies Charters School’s motto of Unity Respect Excellence.
