Ashwin Tennant again proved himself one of the top mathematicians in the UK, and he and Seb Watkins achieved an astonishing perfect set of top grades at GCSE; Seb was awarded a scholarship in recognition of it; Euan Baldwin, Oliver Martin and Conrad Smith also did superbly, only missing a nine in one subject. Johnny Stavropoulos won a silver award in the UK Advanced Linguistics Olympiad, with the highest mark in the school. George Carver won the prestigious Sheriff’s Law Prize. Jamie Robson achieved a distinction in his ABRSM-ARSM diploma in singing. It was a great year for the house, with all boys making progress with their work and Other Half, and cooperating cheerfully with each other in our community.
