Your News: Didn’t we do well!
Bourne Grammar School welcomed parents and students into a packed Bourne Abbey to celebrate the academic and personal achievements of students across all year groups at its annual Speech Night on Friday, November 21.
Guest of honour was former Bourne Grammar student, Mark Sedwill CMG, who is presently Permanent Secretary at the Home Office, the most senior non-political post in one of the major Government departments.
After giving out the many prizes to students from all year groups, Mark Sedwill gave an inspiring talk, outlining how his career had evolved when he joined the diplomatic service after degrees at St Andrews and Oxford.
Students were given a fascinating insight into a career that they might not have considered or known about previously; one that involves working overseas as Mark did in Iraq, Cyprus, Pakistan and Afghanistan where he was HM Ambassador and then Senior NATO Representative, or meeting senior figures in the world of politics. Students were particularly impressed when he recounted how he had dodged assassination attempts, become fluent in Arabic and met with the President of the United States in the Oval Office.
Commenting on the evening, Headteacher, Jonathan Maddox told us: “This was another wonderful celebration for students, parents and teachers. It is always a delight to welcome back former students at this event, many of whom are now at university and to hear from chance to hear from a distinguished guest, especially when he is a former student of Bourne Grammar School.”
