Juwon Onafowora 6A

BSc (Hons) Mathematics, St Andrew’s University

Juwon Onafowora leaves Saint Peter the Apostle High School to attend St Andrew’s University to study BSc (Hons) Mathematics.

Juwon has enjoyed a highly successful and fulfilling secondary education and has demonstrated exceptional academic ability, culminating in his study of four Advanced Highers in Mathematics, Physics, Music and Mathematics of Mechanics.

Juwon’s commitment to his studies is outstanding. He consistently strives to achieve his very best, approaching all aspects of his learning with diligence, determination and a genuine enthusiasm for new challenges. Equally impressive is his humility and compassion and he has generously dedicated his time to supporting a range of school and community initiatives, including volunteering at local community events.

In addition to his academic success, Jowon is an exceptionally talented musician performing regularly at school shows and award ceremonies. His solo vocal performances are characterised by confidence, control and expressive depth, reflecting a sophisticated understanding of music and performance. Most recently, his talent was recognised through his selection for the leading role of Captain von Trapp in our 2026 school production of The Sound of Music, where he delivered a truly memorable performance.

We are delighted that Juwon has secured an unconditional offer to study Mathematics at the University of St Andrews. We are incredibly proud of all he has achieved and wish him every success as he takes the next step in his journey.

Sam McArthur 6D

Advanced Apprentice Joinery, BAE Systems

Sam McArthur leaves Saint Peter the Apostle to take up an Advanced Apprenticeship Joinery at BAE Systems.

Naturally drawn to hands-on tasks, Sam excelled in practical woodwork throughout his time at school.

To secure one of these competitive apprenticeships, Sam had to complete a multi-stage selection process against a vast number of young people applying from across the country. His confidence in his choice was reinforced when he completed a week-long work experience placement with BAE Systems which gave him first-hand experience at the sheer scale of operations within a global defence leader, alongside trade taster sessions that confirmed his passion for the craft.

Beginning his role in August, Sam will be working within BAE Systems' renowned naval ships team. His four-year training programme offers an incredible blend of workplace learning and formal education, where he will split his time between hands-on training on-site and block-release learning at college. Over the four years, he will work towards achieving industry-recognised SVQ qualifications, building a solid foundation for a lifetime of success with a top-tier global employer.

Everyone at St Peter the Apostle High School is incredibly proud of Sam’s outstanding achievement. We wish Sam the very best as he begins this exciting first chapter of his professional career.
