PLYMOUTH COLLEGE Heads of School Speech

Our remit as the Heads of School is to tell you a bit more about what has been happening outside of the classroom. There have been so many remarkable individual achievements that have left us all humbled and in awe. It would be impossible to name them all, but here is a snapshot of the depth of talent that we have. You may have heard Annabel Kennedy and Sid McLaren [offered places at the Royal College of Music and the BRIT School for performing arts, respectively] performing at a school concert or play. We are so proud of their rise to stardom and will all watch their bright futures in the world of performance with interest.

Harry Preston won a GB gold medal at the European Triathlon Championships, Robbie Lockyer raised £1,500 by running a very fast time of 3:13 in the London Marathon, Poppy Tank won the Devon Cross Country Championships and came 4th in the English Schools. In addition, Annie Cobbold qualified for the Badminton Horse Trials. It didn’t stop there. The Modern Pentathlon Academy has been going great guns and have now produced 57 National Champions in the 8 years that it has been running. Kerenza Bryson, Eimear O’Neill, Anne Kleidon and Georgina Mitchell between them brought home nine gold medals this year and at the risk of embarrassing him here up on stage, Myles Pillage also medalled at the European Pentathlon Championships.
