GCSE Certificate and Awards Evening 2024

GCSE awards evening special guest speaks

On Wednesday 27th November, we celebrated the achievements of our Y11 leavers at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel.

It was great to see such a good number of students and families there. As well as receiving their hard-earned GCSE Certificates, students heard inspirational words from Martin McKervey, non-executive director of AESSEAL plc and chair of the Sheffield Property Association, and from Mrs Grewal-Joy. Special thanks go to Miss Foster, Heidi and Ethan for leading the presentation, and for helping to make it such a fantastic evening.
