A huge congratulations to Liza who is celebrating an incredible set of results with seven grade 9s, one grade 8, and a special award for being one of top performers in her Art GCSE in the country.
In 2022, Liza fled the war in Ukraine with her family after spending two traumatic weeks in a basement in their home city of Kyiv, shielding from the bombing.
After opening her results today, Liza said: “I was nervous, but I am so happy. I have mixed feelings. I want to go back to Ukraine but we are all really scared to go back to Kyiv. I haven't seen my grandparents since the start of the war, but I know they will be proud of what I have achieved today."
Head Master, Steve Marshall-Taylor said: “Among so much of which we can be proud today, this wonderful individual story shines brightly and highlights the privilege we have to play a small part in moments such as this.”
