Congratulations to all our Sixth Formers celebrating today’s A Level results. With the support of our excellent Sixth Form team, our students have been able to make fantastic progress over the past two years and the hard work and dedication they have shown to their studies has been rewarded today. Most importantly, I am so pleased that so many of our students are now able to take their chosen next steps, whether it be going on to a top university, embarking on a high-quality apprenticeship scheme or entering the world of work. I hope they are all very proud of what they have achieved, as we all are.”
