End of year exams are over!

End of term

Students gather in their assembly area after finishing their end of year exams (Nov 2024)

The national exams finished today. The students have asked us to say a massive thanks to you as a supporter as your money enabled us to pay the fees for these students to take the exams. These exams equivalent to our A levels so vitally important for their futures, whether going to work, on to college or uni. None of those students would have had a secondary education never mind sitting the exams except for Impreza. For many who have taken the exams it will be a massive step into the unknown to leave imprezza as they will have lived there for 4 years, most not going away from school even at holidays as they have nowhere to go or it’s unsafe to go back to their extended family if orphans or especially girls to avoid early marriage, FGM etc. Even those who go home at holidays nearly all come Into school each day to be fed.
