“I would like to thank my parents for being the greatest support in my Key Stage exams. They motivated me to practice and supported me to be prepared both physically and mentally.

“I also think it is important to have a fair share of study and play, which is what enabled me to successfully gain 6.0 in two subjects, and 5.8 in 1 of them.”

He also elaborated on how his teachers see his potential in leadership: “I was initially surprised that I’ve got the role of Vice School Captain as I previously applied for student council. However, I would like to thank Ms Hannah for recommending me for this role and I am grateful to be able to contribute to various student council meetings, and organising the last day of school activity for the primary students.”
