Students had much to be proud of and the achievements of every student are celebrated. Head of Sixth Form, Amy Withers comments: "Behind every set of outcomes there is a story, and every student has worked hard to overcome challenges and to grow both personally and academically during their time at Sixth Form.

"Today is the culmination of that hard work and effort, which it has been a privilege to be a part of. My very best wishes go to all of our students as they move forward to their next steps."Mila and Annie
