JACK PETCHEY ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

On Thursday 11th November nine Tiffin students were honoured for their achievements by the Jack Petchey Foundation. The Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme recognises the hard work and determination of young people across London and Essex. It was set up by Sir Jack Petchey CBE to inspire and celebrate young people. Since 1999, over £133 million has been invested in programmes to benefit young people and as a School we have benefitted enormously from generous grants. We regularly have the opportunity to confer this prestigious award on students here and this is largely due to the breadth of achievement in the School. Due to Covid restrictions the annual Awards Ceremony for the year September 2020 - June 2021 took place in a digital format which was in no way less special. The winners (listed below) along with their parents were able to tune in to watch a personalised Tiffin Ceremony in which the students' achievements were lauded through various accolades. Many congratulations to them all!

GCSE SCIENCE IN ACTION TRIP

The GCSE Science in Action trip to Emmanuel Centre in Westminster for a lecture series was one of my most awe - inspiring experiences at Tiffin. The lecturers provided many pieces of information to help us with our GCSE science journey, but delivered it in an entertaining and engaging manner. I learnt that more complex sugars break down and burn slower due to their complex structure, and because of this the chocolate mini roll was the best snack for swimming the channel. I also loved the fact that we could ask questions and participate in polls about the lecture, and the tips for GCSE science revision were also very helpful. By Hamze Ali 10DO
