Outside school hours, Kiri-Jayne Bailey helps to train St John Ambulance cadets and attends the Royal Norfolk and the Sandringham shows, and is also a young leader for the 4th Lynn Brownies and helps out with Guides.

In school she was a year seven form assistant and is now studying A level physics and hopes to study radiography at University Campus Suffolk.

Her community work earned her a Millennium Volunteer Certificate and she collected the Rotary Club award at the sixth form final assembly and achievement presentations.

She plans to spend her £250 prize on textbooks for university.

The Centenary Award is judged on community service and enterprise and for a piece of schoolwork and is open to sixthformers at the school.

The shortlisted candidates were asked to give a ten-minute presentation on their work to the panel of judges.

Kiri-Jayne's included a discussion and power point presentation on medical imaging from her physics work.

The award was presented by John Connelly, the Rotary Club president.

Director of sixth form, Steve Chapman, told the assembly that he was delighted with the way the students had progressed during their time in sixth form.

Each student was presented with an updated progress file on their achievements.
