FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

---

On behalf of the staff and Board of Management of St. Cyprian’s Boys’ School, it gives me great pleasure to congratulate the Class of 2026 on their outstanding performance in the Barbados Secondary Schools’ Entrance Examination (11+).

These results represent far more than a single examination. They are the culmination of eight years of academic growth, character development, and perseverance by our students. They also reflect the commitment of our teachers and staff and the unwavering support of parents and guardians. Together, we celebrate an achievement of which the entire St. Cyprian’s Boys’ School community can be immensely proud.

Our students earned an impressive 30 secondary school allocations, with placements as follows:

• Harrison College – 10
• The St. Michael School – 7
• Combermere School – 4
• The Foundation School – 4
• The Lodge School – 1
• Alleyne School – 1
• Graydon Sealy Secondary School – 2
• St. Leonard’s Boys’ School – 1

In addition, one of our boys secured Joint Second Place Overall on the island, scoring 100% in Mathematics and 94% in English, further highlighting  the exceptional performance of this graduating class. We also celebrate the achievements of our early sitters, whose outstanding performances earned them places at their schools of choice, adding yet another chapter to this year's  success story.

Particularly noteworthy were our Mathematics results. Our school produced three perfect scores of 100% , with 17 students achieving scores above 90% including 11 who scored above 95%, while 25 students attained scores above 80%. 

Our boys also performed strongly in English, with 18 students achieving scores above 80%.

The school averages continue to trend above the national averages:

• Mathematics: 86.6%
• English: 80%

These achievements are a testament to the hard work, determination, and dedication displayed by our students throughout their years at St. Cyprian’s Boys’ School and further underscore the culture of excellence that continues to define our institution.

As our graduates prepare to take their places in secondary school, we celebrate not only their examination results but also the character, discipline, and values they have developed during their time here at St. Cyprian’s Boys’ School.

We congratulate each and every one of them and wish them continued success in their new schools. May they carry with them the values and traditions of St. Cyprian’s Boys’ School, always remembering our motto:

“Sure and Steady Must Succeed.”

With gratitude,

Dave Layne
