GCSE Awards and Presentation Evening and plaque unveiling
A packed hall of parents, staff and students at Epping St John's School gathered for the annual GCSE Awards and Presentation evening.
Awards were presented for subject achievement as well as for the contribution students had made to the life of Epping St John's.
Headteacher Allan Osborne said: "There was a real buzz and excitement for the special celebration of our students' achievements."
He added: “To send these young people out in to the world as students who cared; nurtured and loved their school community is a real privilege.”
Deputy Headteacher Jo Daniels said: "The audience received an inspirational message from our guest speaker, the paralympic wheelchair athlete Richard Chiassaro that if you are faced with challenges or obstacles don’t give up on your dreams, just find a different way of getting there.”
Assistant Headteacher Ann Robinson-Smith said: "The evening was a real celebration of achievement and personal progress with inspiring words from Richard."
During the evening the school unveiled a plaque by the student entrance to honour the contribution made to Epping St John's School by retired Canon Rev'd Geoffrey Connor.
