CyberFirst Student Leader Award

Two further students have been honoured with the prestigious CyberFirst Student Leader Award, a national accolade presented by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to honour young people who demonstrate exceptional leadership, a commitment to developing cyber skills, and a strong advocacy for digital safety.

Head Boy Daniyal Mehmood and year 10 computer scientist Mohammad Ibrahim were selected for their contributions to whole-school initiatives, their promotion of responsible online behaviour, and their leadership in organising digital activities that encourage students to explore cybersecurity and digital career opportunities.

The award celebrates individuals who not only build strong computing knowledge but also motivate others, raise awareness of cyber skills, and actively support their school communities in staying safe online. Both students exemplify these qualities, showing initiative, confidence, and a genuine passion for digital innovation. We are incredibly proud of their achievements and the positive impact they have made in fostering a safer, more digitally aware school community. The award is also highly regarded by leading UK universities, as it reflects leadership and meaningful engagement with emerging cybersecurity principles.
