2018 Prize Giving
As the end of a busy Autumn term draws near, MPW’s annual Prize Giving ceremony provided the perfect opportunity to reflect upon and celebrate the amazing achievements of our students in 2018.
Welcoming prize winners, their parents and staff, John Southworth, Principal of MPW London, highlighted another year of success for MPW London: over a third of A level entries at A*/A, over half of all GCSE entries at A*/A or equivalent and three prestigious CIFE Awards.
John also welcomed our guest speaker, Sir Tim Waterstone, founder of Waterstones, author, and philanthropist. Sir Tim, a former MPW parent himself, spoke of his affection for the college and how it had supported five of his children in achieving their academic ambitions. He recalled how his son, who originally achieved a U in Maths GCSE, rapidly converted this to an A grade thanks to his time at MPW.
It was then the turn of our students, many of whom had returned from University for the occasion, to take to the stage and receive their awards. We wish to thank Sir Tim, our staff and guests for supporting such a wonderful evening, but most importantly, we salute our award winners on their tremendous success.
