Equally excited was Year 13 Daisy, saying:

I am just so pleased; I cannot believe it! I am so excited for the future.”

Speaking on students’ achievements, Jim Coupe, Principal at Shoreham Academy, said:  

“Each year it is a privilege to mark this moment with Sixth Formers, as they not only reflect on their significant achievements at A Level but also look forward to the exciting next stages in their lives. I am pleased that this year’s group can once again do so in the knowledge that they have achieved some fantastic outcomes and can look forward to bright futures at university, vocational study and beyond.

“We are so proud of the hard work they put in, which is evidenced by the percentage of students gaining the higher-level passes at A* to B or Distinction. Equally, I would like to thank our staff team for their enthusiasm, energy and tireless efforts on behalf of our students – today would not be possible without them.”

Susie Brooks, Head of Sixth Form at Shoreham Academy, said:

“Congratulations to all our wonderful Year 13 students celebrating today. They have been an absolute credit to our academy and lived up to our values of ambition and determination. We are extremely proud of all they have achieved during their time with us and we look forward to staying in touch with them for many years to come.”
