Jehosheba Tijani, Ayooluwa Ogungbenro, and Simisola Olusayo, all students of Greensprings School, one of the leading British international schools in Lagos were among the “Top in the Country” list of the June 2019 International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE).

By achieving this feat, it becomes the fourth consecutive time that students from the school make the list of the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards.

The Cambridge IGCSE examination is taken by students from ages 14 to 16 years old and the examination is administered at the final secondary school year of various international schools in Nigeria.

Barney Wilson, deputy director of Education, Greensprings School while reacting to the announcement made by the British Council and Cambridge International says the management of the school is very happy that their students made it to the list.

Wilson expressing his satisfaction with the announcement said, “Jehosheba Tijani and Ayooluwa Ogungbenro were awarded Top in the Country in Literature, while Simisola Olusayo got Top in the Country in History.”

According to him, “Our students have always been on the list since 2016 when the award commenced, and aside from the Top in the Country awards, one of our students, Honour Olatunji, has won Top in the World for Mathematics in the past”.

“We now have a total of 19 students who have won the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards in the last four years, and we are proud of them,” he concluded.

The Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards is an initiative of the British Council with a primary objective of recognising best-performing students and innovative schools.
