HUNDREDS of students at a Highbridge school had their achievements recognised at a special awards event.
In December last year staff at The King Alfred School Academy (TKASA) celebrated the achievements of its students at the event and commended them for their academic excellence, music, sport, performing arts, charity and helping the community.
Former student Mike Westlake gave a talk on his journey to become an international global strategist on education for a San Francisco based tech company. He is now a trustee at The Priory Learning Trust (TPLT).
The awards event capped off a busy year for the school which became the most improved secondary school in Somerset, with superb GCSE results and performance progress measures, had a visit from the Prime Minister and set up Britain’s first school-based scout group which has over 100 student members.
Nathan Jenkins, principal of The King Alfred School, said: “We celebrated the students for their amazing achievements. They have worked so hard and inspired us all in so many ways.”
