We thank all the participating students for representing the school and congratulate them on their achievements. The Best in English competition is a valuable opportunity for students to compare their language skills with their peers from all over Europe and to gain motivation for further study of the English language. We are already looking forward to the next edition of the competition and hope that next year our students will successfully build on this year's results.
