Class of 2024 Rewarded

Collyer's Prize Giving “Wonderful and Inspiring”

At the annual Collyer’s Prize Giving ceremony, successful students have been rewarded for their 2024 achievements at the leading sixth form college. Collyer’s Principal Dan Lodge welcomed David Arnold (Collyer’s Principal from 1983 to 1999), local head teachers, and former students, teachers, families, and other members of the Collyer’s community. The event was hosted by Deputy Principal Steve Martell and the presentation of the awards was made by Dr Grant Powell (Master of the Mercers’ Company), Graham Lawrence (Chair of the Governing Body), Ruth Mitchell (President of the Old Collyerians’ Association), Claire Howard, Ray Welton from the Horsham Twinning Association; Tabitha Siklos, and Collyer’s staff. The event was expertly organised by Collyer’s Linda MacLeman, with superb support from Sara Luxford. Music was provided by The Jazz Trio, comprising student musicians Jacob Burgess, Calum Kincaid, and Woody Nicholls. Photography was provided by Miki Navratilova.

Collyer’s Principal, Dan Lodge, said: “The Prizegiving event celebrates the wide range of student achievement at Collyer’s. They are truly awe-inspiring people and all within the Collyer’s community are extremely proud of them.

“Students are awarded prizes for excelling academically and the way they engaged in activities outside the classroom, in clubs and societies, sport, music and drama, or the way they supported other students in their studies while persevering with their own.”

Graham Lawrence, Chair of Governors at Collyer’s, said: “To hear individual stories of hard work and success is wonderful and inspiring. It was a pleasure to be here to celebrate such extraordinary student achievements.

“Congratulations to these incredible students and massive thanks to the staff who support them.”
