Jacob, who prior to Collyer’s attended Tanbridge House School, was a Collyer’s Ambassador during his time at the Ofsted outstanding sixth form college. He will now follow a career specialising as an Aerial Identification Officer, helping to protect UK Airspace.

Deputy Principal Steve Martell said: “Jacob was a wonderful student at Collyer’s, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him as he conducted widespread ambassadorial duties for Collyer’s. He is super smart, but also works incredibly hard.

“Jacob’s continued success is not a surprise to me, and all at Collyer’s are so proud that he has been awarded the Sword of Honour, which is an important prize amongst RAF graduates and is effectively cadet of the year!”
