"What left an imprint on me from Kingsdale was the dedication of the teachers," John Toohey writes. "When I had a stress attack before my first Further Maths exam, my Heads of Learning were so good at listening to me and offering helpful advice that ultimately saw me through it."

Congratulations to the year group, and to the teachers and families behind them.
