Head of Sixth Form, Stephen Moffatt, said, “This has been an extremely tight-knit group of students who have supported each, not only throughout the turbulence and uncertainty of the last few months but throughout the previous two years extremely well. They each deserve every success following two years of commitment and are a group of students who encapsulate our #BEStofBishops ethos who through their volunteering, charity work or wise action will leave a lasting impression on our school community for long after they have left Bishops’.”
