Clare Cassidy, Principal at Sedgehill Academy, said of students’ achievements:

“Our aim is to give all our students the education, advice and support they need to thrive and develop as young people and make the right choices for them as they take their next steps. It is fantastic to see the breadth of talents and interests we have in this group of Year 13s, whether that is those who are pursuing highly creative studies or those who choose more traditional professions. We are very pleased for all of the students celebrating their achievements today and wish them well as they move on with confidence.”
