The journey they have been on over the past four years has seen them make such amazing progress that when they arrived at the autumn term of Year 6, they were prepped and ready to go. The results speak for themselves and they should all be proud of what they have achieved.
SEOJUN’S STORY
DESTINATION - KING’S COLLEGE ARTHUR CALEY ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP
Seojun's journey to King’s College, having been awarded the Arthur Caley Academic scholarship, is one that is defined by resilience and hard work. Seojun joined Willington in Year 1 and quickly made progress across the academic spectrum. It wasn’t long before he would return to Korea as his family returned for work purposes However, upon their return to the UK he again enrolled at Willington and began the 11+ path towards year 6. His achievements have been outstanding and not only was his academic scholarship to King’s something to celebrate, but in addition he was awarded the John Propert Academic award at Epsom College and the Lorraine Wilson Memorial Academic Scholarship to Dulwich College. An outstanding scholar and Head Boy to boot, Soejun has done his family and school proud.

MARCUS’
STORY

The year 6 accelerate programme in the run up to the exam season put the icing on the cake, as the children approached them with confidence in their ability and preparedness. Why worry?!

Marcus got a total of three offers, including St John’s Leatherhead. But it was Whitgift where he leaves us for Our loss, their gain! Congratulations and good luck!
