Her success is a testament to her talent, dedication, and ability to balance her academic and artistic pursuits.
Last year, Sasha organised a concert which raised over £2,000 to support a Ukrainian charity.
Three Ukrainian pupils sat their GCSEs after two years at the School, each achieving at the top Grade 9. This follows on from last week’s A Level Results where two Ukrainian pupils achieved their A Level Grades to study at University. The RGS community is delighted to have supported these pupils in their time of need, provided stability for their studies and the chance to achieve success, even while studying away from home and in a different language
Inspiring pupil Libby Parker achieved four GCSEs at Grade 9, while facing the challenges of Long Covid which limited the time she could spend in school each day and through each week. Libby raised over £8,000 with her ‘Big Push’ fundraising for children affected by Long Covid. She is looking forward to her A Level studies, supported by RGS. Libby is looking forward to the ‘Big Push 3’ later this year.
