Pupils jump for joy
Headteacher’s delight as Trinity ‘role models’ rise to the challenge
TRINITY School headteacher Charlotte Wilson has expressed her delight with how the school’s pupils performed in their A-levels.
Among the school’s highest achievers were head boy Harry Craig, who achieved five A*s in history, sociology, French, geography and an extended project qualification (EPQ), Jai Chupreecha who received four A*s in biology, chemistry, mathematics and an EPQ, and Zahra Smith who received a Distinction* in performing arts and As in biology and chemistry.
Harry is going to study history at the University of Exeter, Jai will study medicine
at the University of Southampton and Zahra will study dance at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
Dr Wilson said: “We are incredibly proud of our Year 13 students who have risen to every challenge that this year has thrown at them.
“They have led by example and been excellent role models for our school community, demonstrating that hard work and commitment reap rewards.
“We would like to thank our staff and parents for the support and care given throughout the students’ studies, enabling them to achieve their very best.”
Harry said: “I’m really pleased and proud and it’s a really satisfying feeling overall after a hard two years.
“We’ve only had one out of the six sixth form terms that have been normal, so it feels like a real achievement after everything we’ve had to go through.
“It’s been difficult continuing learning when you don’t know how you’re being assessed and when you’ll come back to school.
“That’s what really makes results day this year all the more sweet when you see the fruits of your labour.”
Other high-flyers included Cameron Blatch, who achieved A*s in business and chemistry and an A in mathematics and physics, and Nelly Ann Deas, who achieved A*s in psychology, sociology and art.
Cameron is off to study physics at the University of Exeter, and Nelly psychology at the University of Portsmouth.
Cameron said: “I’m happy – I was teetering for a few weeks on A and B, and I needed that A in physics.
“Physics can open a lot of doors and there is a lot of money behind it and I find it interesting.”
Nelly added: “Lockdown was difficult to try to motivate myself, and I was happy to come back to school .
“I like psychology because it’s like a new subject – I haven’t studied it before.”
