Mr Garcia has been an invaluable member of the teaching staff and has hugely contributed in particular to the wider school life. He usually gives up most of his evenings as he volunteers to run extracurricular clubs, which range from football, volleyball to charity events. He supported his form class during their First Give Charity Project, by raising awareness across the whole school about equality, and they held a charity event to raise money for their charity. He has also given up his weekends and holiday time to support various school residentials. He is very passionate and caring about everything he is involved in.

Gabriella has come so far during her Kingsbury High School journey. Last year Gabriella did not like reading out loud in form as she was not confident with her English, to now participating in the First Give Charity Project and presenting to an audience in the final which her group won and raised over £1000 for their charity. Gabriella has demonstrated resilience, she continuously works hard to better herself and we are so proud of her. She is not only a hard worker but also always has a smile on her face, and radiates positive energy.
