Bungay High School has marked students achievements over the past year with a special presentation evening.

Held at the school in Queens Road on Monday, close to 100 prizes were handed out by headteacher Sean O’Neill, who is leaving today after nine years at the helm.

He looked back over the past year and highlighted some of the best moments including the production of Twelfth Night, the summer and winter concerts, the Masterchef competition and the Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme.

He also spoke of another positive A level year, with some students off to study medicine amongst other courses and apprenticeships, while 60pc of GCSE students received five A* to C grades, making Bungay High the strongest performing high school in the Waveney and Blyth Valley.

Speaking at the event on Monday evening he said: “This evening is all about the celebration of success, not just for exam results, but also for endeavour, resilience, responsibility, reflectiveness and resourcefulness; key skills they will need ahead of them.

“I have said on a number of occasions that teaching is the best job in the world; it is occasions like this one that enables us all to celebrate the success of working with talented teachers and students.”
