Jack Petchey Finalist!

As reported back in March, we are incredibly proud that Josiah O (Year 10) reached the Grand Final of the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge.

Out of more than 35,000 Year 10 pupils who took part nationwide, Josiah has been selected as one of the final 15 speakers - a remarkable achievement and the furthest any of our pupils have progressed in the competition. His success is a testament to his confidence, eloquence and hard work throughout the challenge.

The 2026 Grand Final will take place on Monday 6th July at the Cambridge Theatre in London’s West End. We wish him the very best of luck as he prepares for this exciting occasion.
