President Kennedy School has celebrated another year of fantastic A level and BTEC results today. Well done to all of our students - we are so proud of the hard work and dedication they have demonstrated over the last two years which has resulted in some fantastic destinations. Here are a few of our destinations we would like to share with you - but we could have easily ended up writing about everyone.
Connor Hoyle has achieved an amazing 4 A* grades in Biology, Chemistry, Maths, and Further Maths to secure a place reading Natural Sciences at Downing College, Cambridge. Connor has shown continued dedication throughout his studies and has already demonstrated his passion for the practical applications in science by successfully completing a research placement at Cambridge University over the summer.
Esha Sandhu gained an A* in Psychology and A grades in English and History which has secured her a highly competitive apprenticeship degree place with the prestigious law firm A & O Shearman, to start in London this September. To build on our apprenticeship success, Karwan Jarjis has obtained a Distinction* Distinction, Distinction in his Business studies and ICT to secure an apprenticeship with Jaguar Land Rover starting next month.
We are delighted that Shujaa Khan has obtained three A grades in Biology, Chemistry, and Maths to study Medicine at the University of Birmingham. Manpreet Kaur, Simranjit Kaur, and Sahar Dawood Zadah have also secured places to study law at the University of Birmingham and the University of Warwick as a result of their excellent A level grades.
Our level 3 BTEC students have secured some impressive destinations. Manroop Sandhu with be studying a master's in Nursing at the University of Birmingham, Amy McDonald will be studying Health Sciences at the University of Warwick, and Sameer Massude will be studying Finance at the University of Exeter.
A huge congratulations to Harman Aujla and Erin Ford who will start college in the USA later this month, studying at Amherst and Emory Colleges. We also are thrilled to share that Grace McEnery will be starting at Italia Conti Stage School in the autumn. This is a highly competitive stage school to get into, and anyone who has been lucky enough to attend the school performances of Grease or Chicago will undoubtedly have seen Grace's talent.
The cast of CHICAGO Teen took to the stage to a full and appreciative audience. The atmosphere was electric and the finale bow ended in a standing ovation.
The students worked so hard on such detailed and difficult choreography, characterisation and vocals. The talent on stage made it hard to believe it was a school production.
Lead roles delivered with maturity and class. The team work, passion, commitment and resilience shown by every single cast member was amazing, but above all they were kind and supportive to each other.
To say we are proud would be an understatement! WELL DONE ALL!
Thank you to our PKS community for constantly supporting us. We look forward to seeing you at our next show.
