This year, a select group of students have been recognised by Pearson Edexcel for their exceptional exam results. These awards were presented to learners who achieved the highest subject mark in their country, region, and around the world.

Among these were pupils who received the highest marks in across the world. These students not only make their families proud, but they also serve as an inspiration to their peers. We also celebrated and awarded the subject teachers who supported the students during their examinations and helped them achieve these results.

Let us take a moment to congratulate the students who have received awards for their outstanding efforts.

Thank you to the parents who attended the award ceremony to support their children.

Hannen serves as an inspiration to her fellow pupils especially the sixth form pupils. She advised, “find your optimal study method through trial and error, for example, many say that studying with music is distracting and yet, it’s the only way I can study. Remember to start early, stay consistent, reach out to your teachers or older students, take sufficient breaks and trust that you can do whatever goal you set your mind to.”

Haneen’s remarkable achievement and insightful advice serve as a testament to the power of dedication, resilience, and the unwavering support from educational institutions, teachers, and families in shaping the success of aspiring learners.
