Celebration of Achievement 2024 On Tuesday evening, we gathered to honour the incredible achievements of our brightest students from the Class of 2024, in Years 11 and 13, at our annual Celebration of Achievement Evening. This year marked a special milestone as we celebrated our 65th year! Our Headteacher, Mr Jones, shared that this ceremony has been a tradition since the school's founding, originally known as Speech Day when we were called Wing County Secondary School. We were honoured to have Mrs. Alison Phillips MBE, Deputy Buckinghamshire Lieutenancy, join us. 50 subject awards were presented across Key Stage 4 and 5 and seven special awards for: Headteacher's Award KS4 - Jack Abbott Headteacher's Award KS5 - Harvey Serradimigni Roy Collis Award For Community and School Service - Daniel Thurston Lee Ryder Award KS4 For achieving above and beyond and overcoming adversity - Alfie Cox Lee Ryder Award KS5 For achieving above and beyond and overcoming adversity - Natasha Cheasley Caitlin Corr Award For contributions to Performing Arts - Riley Horwood Bryn Jones Award For Humanities - Tom Phillips Over 200 guests attended the special occasion, a speech was given by alum Thomas Penhearow which was truly inspiring to listen to. Tom began his journey at The Cottesloe School in 2013. Tom excelled academically throughout his education. After achieving high grades at GCSEs, including "History Student of the Year" at The Cottesloe School, he pursued Business Studies. He earned a First-Class Honours degree in Business Management from the University of Buckingham, receiving multiple awards. Following this, Tom completed an MBA with Distinction. Tom now works as a Payments Transformation Lead Analyst at Santander in London. Tom credits the school for giving him his love of Business. We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Tom, for giving up his time to share his journey and how The Cottesloe School shaped who he is today. Thank you to alum Poppy Johnstone, who gave up a working day to capture the event! During the evening we raised money for Bryn Jones' family for Cardiac Risk in the Young, £110 was raised for this charity. Bryn sadly passed away shortly after leaving us. Thank you to all those who donated. #TheCottesloeSchool #PrepareAspireSucceed #CelebrationofAchievement #Classof2024

Looks like we have a future F1 driver in the making! Year 9 Josh brought home the Sutton Cup Championship from Rye House Kartway, this is where Lewis Hamilton began his racing journey, so it's extra special. He battled through eight races and 14 other drivers to claim victory. His family were at the presentation evening on Saturday and this trophy is seriously impressive.
