Congratulations to Beth McMillan and Elizabeth Hobbs who both achieved 11 A* grades. Beth and Elizabeth are both academic scholars at Leweston. Kate Reynolds, incoming Head at Leweston commented “It is wonderful to see such strong academic results from this multi-talented year group. Their achievements across the subject and ability range are as impressive as the list of additional accolades they have garnered in music, sport and outdoor education; all testament to the benefits of an all girls’ education where Leweston girls achieve to the best of their ability both inside and beyond the classroom.”
