The boys receiving their results, I just want to say how very proud I am of all of them, as they have put in a lot of effort over the year :🤩

Some of them many not of got what they wanted but they really have tried their best and I am extremely proud, and know they will go on to great things with their futures after Springboard :☺️It was also a great privilege to be asked by one of my students to attend his open day at his new music college with him. Even when we arrived I asked him if he wanted me to step to one side whilst he carried on, and he insisted that I went through every step with him 🤗 I know he is going to go ahead and create some amazing music and be successful in his career. To all of SPT2, I will greatly miss the laughs, the tears, the ups and the downs, the silliness and the fun. I will miss guiding you through your education as well as life happenings. Not only did I get the chance to teach you all, but you all taught me new life lessons too. Thank you for this year and go show everyone else just how amazing I know you all are, big love Miss Ainsworth ❤️#newbridge #springboard ... See MoreSee Less
