Mrs Aimee Jamison, Headington’s Director of Performing Arts said: “It’s incredibly rare that students of this age pass a diploma, never mind achieve a distinction.
“Victoria is a very quiet and modest student, but an exceptional pianist, and she hopes to become a concert pianist one day

Victoria said: “I thought the exam went ok – I felt very nervous even though there was only one person listening!”
