Year 13 have been an incredibly dedicated year group and a delight to work with, showing high levels of professionalism and leaving a legacy in both their results and in the Sixth Form culture they created for future year groups to emulate. A thanks also to the staff and families who work with and support our students every day, without whom these fantastic results would not be possible.
We wish the Year 13 of 2023-24 every success in their next steps and look forward to when they come back to tell us all about the impact they are making on the communities they live and work in. Well done!
