Congratulations to Tom, a Jack Petchey Award Winner!

Tom is an incredibly resilient young man, who faces personal challenges with determination. Tom moved to us from Ramsey at the start of Year 12, and he quickly showed his class teachers his commitment to push himself in his studies, often working above his ALPS grade. Tom is the Senior Vice Captain of Halstead Swimming Club, swimming early mornings before Sixth Form and regularly supporting younger swimmers. He has also completed specialist lifeguarding training, gaining UCAS points while also aiming to further support his team. Tom is also a positive and kind role model for other students, showing that quiet determination can be key in future success. Tom deserves to be recognised for the consistent dedication he shows in all aspects of his life.
