In the year to 5 April 2022 the Trustees have been able to meet their responsibilities by supporting two pupils in the Sixth Form and the Trustees are pleased to report:
Scholar 1 (September 2020 – July 2022)
Scholar 1 begun his school career 7 years ago as a shy and quiet pupil and it has been an absolute pleasure to witness him flourish into such a confident and articulate communicator. Predicted A, A, A*, A, he is hoping to take up a place at Imperial to study Biomedical Engineering. Work experience with Aston Martin, working on the Valkyrie Supercar, has been a particular highlight for him, but he also cites leading the school’s Engineering Society and working towards his Gold Duke of Edinburgh award as great achievements. He has really embraced the extra-curricular life of the school, including sports such as cricket, football, rugby and hockey, and musical pursuits such as playing the piano and singing. More recently, he has taken up coding, and has taught himself Python. He is a kind and considerate student who has taken advantage of every opportunity available at Bancroft’s.
Scholar 2 (September 2021 – July 2023)
Scholar 2 joined the school and instantly made her mark as a friendly and approachable student, eager to get involved. She was pivotal in putting on an assembly for Black History Month, speaking passionately to the House, showing herself to be an animated and charismatic presenter. She recently entered the ‘Love letters to London’, the London Society Poetry competition and won the U18 category (winning a £400 cheque). She wrote an article for the International Women’s Week Magazine on ‘Meaning The Beautiful Woman Has Come’, and competed in Senior Inter-house Netball. She has taken an eclectic mix of A levels Biology, Mathematics, French and English and is excelling in the classroom. She has also been a willing volunteer for Open Mornings.
The Trustees continue to seek opportunities to increase the Fund through grants and donations from alumni and individuals and organizations associated with the School.
