A Keswick School pupil has been awarded a top prize by a leading Cumbrian accountancy firm.
Rachel Stevens received the prestigious Lamont Pridmore Business Studies Student Award for her dedication and passion for her studies.
Rachel’s teacher, Diane Duguid said: “She is a conscientious GCSE business student. She has a keen interest in the business world with a particular flair for the accountancy side of the course. She always sets her standards high and is keen to develop her knowledge.”
