“Very well done to our Sixth Formers receiving their results today. Our aim is to make sure that all our students secure the academic outcomes and develop the skills they need to take their chosen next steps – whether they are looking to go to a top university, take up an apprenticeship or enter the world of work. It is fantastic to see that so many of our Sixth Formers have done exactly that and can be proud in what they have achieved today.
“Thank you to our excellent Sixth Form team for their hard work and the ongoing support they provide to our students. I know we all wish our outgoing Year 13 cohort the very best of luck for the future.”
