Hide AdA spokesman said: “All our Form 8 leavers, aged 12 and 13, also successfully gained places to their senior schools with other awards also for sport and all rounders being achieved.
“The last weeks of term are always busy and this year was no exception. With Sports Days, a school camp, trips out, various Form 8 leavers’ events and school concerts, exam successes and international visitors, pupils have really been enjoying a truly broad education.
“It has also been lovely to see so many events attended by parents. Our visiting International students all had a wonderful time and went away having enjoyed being part of the Great Ballard community here in Eartham and visiting many local areas and attractions over recent weeks.
“During sports day, they also added an extra bit of competition by fielding an international relay team in a hotly contested relay race.
