ST Mark's West Essex Catholic School in Harlow held a leavers' service for Year 11-13 students, before their exams.

A service of thanksgiving was led by the head of upper school, Roger Lowry. The guest of honour was Pitney Bowes' employee development trainer Sally Rogerson, who encouraged the students to make the most of all the opportunities given to them.

She also presented students with their National Record of Achievement folders.

Many of the Year 11 students will be returning to join the sixth form, while the Year 13 members are looking forward to going into higher education or starting work.
