He also expressed thanks to Mrs McCaughan, Chair of the Board of Governors as well as all the hard work and dedication of staff, parents and families ‘who work so positively with us all year round’.

He added: I have attended and been involved in many celebrations of achievement during my time in education, however, my first experience of the Cross and Passion College way of doing things was very shortly after appointment in September 2016 and I was struck then, just as you and I will be again, with the range of awards, the achievements of the pupils and the very honest and heartfelt tributes that the staff have written about the young people they have cared for and helped on their way to reaching their potential.
