“These young people have been a fantastic group to teach and to work with and we are all thrilled that they are celebrating some fantastic destinations today. Each of our Sixth Formers has worked hard towards their own goals and their achievements, both individually and as a collective, are a fitting reward for that effort and ambition. This morning has been a brilliant end to their school careers and we hope they enjoy this moment as they look ahead to their futures.”
Kieran Felton, Shoreham Academy’s Assistant Principal (Sixth Form), added:
“Today has been a wonderful way to round off the achievements of this special group of students and to celebrate the work they have put in over many years. The huge variety of destinations they are taking up showcases the range of interests and talents of our Sixth Formers but what is clear is that as a group they share determination, self-belief and ambition. This is borne out in this ‘best ever’ year of results in the Sixth Form’s history and we could not be happier for all of them.”
Jim Coupe, Principal of Shoreham Academy, said:
“Across our school we want our students to thrive as individuals and push themselves to do what they might not have thought possible. This group of Sixth Formers, many of whom have been part of our Shoreham Academy family since Year 7, have lived up to that ethos and their achievements today are testament to that.
“In congratulating our Year 13s, I also want to pay tribute to our excellent team of staff for their support, guidance and encouragement of students. The sense of excitement and pride we’ve seen today has been wonderful and I know what that has meant to colleagues. Likewise, it has been fantastic to have so many parents and families here to mark the occasion and we are grateful for everything they have done in partnership with students and staff towards these outcomes.”
