He acknowledged the strong school-parental links that helped the boys to achieve their best and he highlighted the positive impact at the Abbey last year for parents, pupils and especially, staff with the news that the Abbey would be moving to a new school on a 22 acre green field site within the next two years as a contributing factor to these record breaking results.
