The Whitbread Prize is the top award for the 506 schools which belong to the Independent Schools Association (ISA), of which Alistair Lexden is President. It recognises outstanding academic achievement, contribution to school life and service in the wider community.
On 8 January, this year’s truly brilliant winner, Sebastian Carvello, accompanied by his parents and Richard Settle, head of his school—Sancton Wood, Cambridge—came to the Lords where the prize was presented by Alistair Lexden.
