Over the years, former staff and students have donated subject prizes to reward and encourage across the full range of disciplines. 

These include prizes for the strongest A level and GCSE results.

For service to the school and community, awards were given to Eliza Reynolds and Katie Sillick, Dylan Lewis and Cordelia Morland and to Thomas Harvey-Heathcote.  

Also noteworthy was the prize for determination awarded to Neev Gill and the Joe Parker prize for Zest for Learning, which was presented to Millie Crutchley.

During the evening Rebekah Malcolm and James Townsend also played piano. 

Headteacher Hannah Khan said: “This was a truly memorable evening, one of the highlights of the school year. 

“It was wonderful to celebrate so many young people who have seized the opportunity to learn and excel or to serve the school community and who are clearly proud to be (or to have been) KLB students. 

“We are equally proud of them and their achievements.”
