We are delighted to announce that one of our Class of 2019 Sixth Form students, Amy Jacobsz, has just received news from the Cambridge examination board that she has achieved the prestigious ‘Top in the World’ award for her outstanding performance at A level in Psychology!

In her own words, Amy reacted to the news, “I am delighted to have won this award and am very grateful to everyone who helped me along the way. I am especially thankful to Mrs North for always pushing me and believing in me from the very beginning. Psychology is such a fascinating subject to learn as there will always be more to uncover with the human mind. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment in the classroom and would definitely encourage other students to take it at A level.”
This award is the 2nd Top in the World, that Mrs. North has achieved in her Psychology A-level class: “I had an extra bounce in my step this week as I am so proud of Amy and this award. I am thrilled that she has been rewarded for all the work she put in! She has also confirmed that chocolate brownies really do help students to achieve the highest marks possible!”
The School Principal, Mr. Andrew Cowling congratulated Amy saying, “Well done Amy! This is another excellent achievement. These awards are a tremendous testimony to the hard work put in by students and their teachers and reflect a real mastery of the subject. Chengelo is proud of you!”
Congratulations Amy and we wish you all the very best as you go on to university!
