Name of Student: Jade Tebbutt

"Jade has worked tirelessly since she started in my class in Year 11, always taking on board the advice given, and never afraid to offer her answers to the rest of the class – such a brave girl! The extended independent learning tasks are completed to the best of her ability, every single week, and on top of the work she already does at home, she also asks for more work, based on the things she has identified herself as key things she needs to focus on. An absolute A* student on all counts!". Well done Jade!
