Article in detail

At the annual CIFE Academic Awards Presentation held at the House of Lords on Friday 26th March, Baroness Perry of Southwark presented awards for academic excellence to more than thirty students who achieved outstanding A level and GCSE results last summer.

Baroness Perry, former Chief Inspector of Schools, is the Honorary President of the Council For Independent Education (CIFE). She said: "It is a great pleasure to celebrate the excellence and achievement not only of these outstanding students, but also their parents for supporting them, and all their teachers and colleges."

CIFE Gold Award goes to Tian Sun

Two of the Mathematics award winners, Pond Samasiri and Rose Nguyen, achieved a maximum 600 out of 600 marks in their A level. The Gold Award winner, Tian Sun, (pictured right) is from China, but studied for two years at Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies. She achieved high A grades in five A level subjects (Mathematics, Further Mathematics, English Literature, Economics and History) and an A grade in AS level Physics. The judges of the academic awards felt that her achievement marked her out because her subjects at A level were so diverse.
