Head girl Charlotte Cameron said: ‘We are all very grateful that Mr Barclay took time out of his busy schedule to get in touch with us.

“It was amazing to receive these letters and they are very much appreciated.”Principal Anne Hill presented students with their letters and told the students how proud she was.”
