Brendan Tapping, executive headteacher, said: “Whilst particular congratulations must be given to all the winners of the awards on their outstanding accomplishments, at St Wilfrid’s we make every effort to ensure that every child has successes to celebrate.
“We have no doubt that all of our students will excel in their future roles, and as we celebrate the achievements of our students, we take this opportunity to wish them well in their forthcoming studies and careers.”
