On Friday 12 November we were thrilled to host, in person, our Senior Awards. It was wonderful to welcome back our former Year 13 students, having travelled from their respective universities and gaps, to receive their well-deserved A level certificates, Extended Project Qualifications and Academic Prizes.

Our guest of honour was rowing Olympian and SWPS alumnae Hattie Taylor, who took the opportunity to remind the audience of the importance of seeing failure as a friend and something to learn from rather than be avoided.

The ceremony was punctuated by musical interludes from SWPS Chamber Choir and our sax group, as well as presentations and a vote of thanks from our current Head Girls Team. Congratulations to our newest Perkonian alumnae, we wish them the very best in their future endeavours.
