It was wonderful to be able to celebrate our GCSE and AS Level Awards in person, to come together to celebrate students’ achievements with their families. Thank you to HE Nicola Pollitt, UK Ambassador, for giving such an inspiring keynote speech and for presenting the GCSE certificates. For the students who sat in the hall 2 years ago, watching students who have now graduated receive their AS certificates, they couldn’t have imagined that they’d be completing their own GCSEs and AS Levels in the midst of a global pandemic. Even with this to deal with our students excelled. They got through a challenging time and were able to continue on their educational journey, showing courage and resilience.
As a school we are very proud of our students’ achievements. Not only of the A and A* grades and the 90%+ of students who exceeded their target grades, but also of the growth and learning that they have shown in many other areas of their lives. This is why we have such pleasure in celebrating our students’ achievements and have true appreciation for what they have accomplished.
At the events, we presented students with their exam certificates, the subject awards and our 5C Awards. The 5C Awards represent the ethos of our school and highlight what it means to be a student at TBS.
