The school’s coveted trophy for best all-rounder in the Sixth Form was awarded to Dylan Wiggett. He achieved Academic Honours, and his exceptional sporting talent saw him represent Kearsney’s first team for hockey (captain), indoor hockey (vice-captain), cricket and soccer.
Evidence of his leadership skills is that Dylan was also a prefect and head of Gillingham House.
