Denbigh High School students achieve 'exceptional' results

Deputy Head Boy, Owen Brumby, secured a funded Engineering degree and apprenticeship with Ford in Dagenham.

St. Brigid’s School is particularly proud of student Emily Johnson, who has overcome great adversity throughout her school career.

Emily overcame extremely severe treatment-resistive epilepsy, facing tens of seizures a day and multiple brain surgeries, and managed to defeat the odds to achieve the qualifications she needs to secure a role as a teaching assistant in a Denbighshire school.

She is working alongside the support of Working Denbighshire to use this role to train to become a teacher in the future.

Headteacher Leah Crimes hopes to see her back and working in St Brigid’s as an inspirational teacher upon graduation.

Emily organised the first ever ‘Purple Day’ in St Brigid’s School, for Epilepsy Action, raising an incredible £1,500 in just 90 minutes. 

Ms Crimes said: "I’m over the moon that all of our Year 13 pupils have secured what they need to take their next steps and go out into the world to make a difference.

"They truly are real Brigidines and we’re so proud of them all."
