Chetwynde celebrates with GCSE pupils

Former pupils of Chetwynde School were encouraged to ‘take every opportunity’ at the annual prizegiving.

Guest speaker Liam Edgley, a past student of the Rating Lane school, congratulated the Year 11s who left in the summer on their GCSE success.

“You will all go on to incredible things,” he said. “Six years ago when I got my GCSEs I didn’t quite realise the significance of this milestone.”

Liam, a Trustee of South Cumbria Multi-Academy Trust, is now doing a degree apprenticeship at BAE Systems but said it was not originally his first plan.

“The exciting part is ahead. You will learn to drive, start work or college. Take this time to celebrate what you’ve achieved and how awesome your achievement is but don’t be afraid of change.”

He presented the awards to the students in front of staff, family and friends.

Top academic student was Hargun Ghuman who secured eight grade 9s and two grade 8s in her GCSEs. She also received three subject awards and is now studying A Levels with a view to studying medicine at university.

“It feels unreal,” she said. “I had such a good time here and it feels lovely to get awards from my teachers. It’s such a small school and I’ve made lifelong friendships.”

Henry Burns received the Holmes Prize for best academic improvement and the geography subject prize while twins Tilly and Maya Greenall, who each achieved a host of grade 8s and 9s among their 10 GCSEs, were also celebrating.

Tilly achieved and scooped the Governor’s Cup for her contribution to school and achievement across the board as well as the subject prize for physics. Maya won the Les Rigg Trophy for Outstanding Achievement in Sports, subject prize for chemistry and a form award for academic achievement.

Speaking to the students, Chetwynde Headteacher Steve Jefferson said the prizes were for hard work, effort and contribution to school as well as academic success.

“Be proud of all your successes. You have shown the school values of respect, responsibility, and resilience and you take those with you into your bright futures.”
