Article in detail
At the annual CIFE Academic Awards Presentation held at the House of Lords on Wednesday 18th March 2015, Lord Lexden presented awards for academic excellence to thirty-six CIFE college students who achieved outstanding results in 2014. The recipients – some British, some from overseas – were warmly applauded at the presentation, all having studied at sixth-form colleges belonging to the Council for Independent Education (CIFE), of which Alistair Lexden is President.
The Gold Award winner, Cliff Chung Cho Fung from Hong Kong, was an A-level student at Bosworth College, Northampton. Cliff achieved A* in four of his A Level subjects – Biology, Chemistry, Maths and Psychology, with grade A in every unit and full marks in 14 out of 22 papers. He also gained grade A in Chinese. He is currently studying Psychology and Behavioural Science at Robinson College, Cambridge. He said: “It is my great honour to receive this award, which enhances my passion for academic study. I enjoyed the experience of being educated at Bosworth, where I received the full attention of passionate teachers and supportive college staff.”
Lord Lexden said: “CIFE colleges provide a wide array of courses; many offer over 40 different AS and A level subjects taught by highly qualified specialists. Extraordinarily impressive grades are achieved, opening the way to places at leading universities. Those who run and teach in CIFE’s eighteen member colleges are among the heroes and heroines of the education system and their praises should be sung much more loudly.”
