We are pleased to report some wonderful achievements by our students in their A-level and vocational qualifications this summer.
Highlights included the performance of Leon, who achieved A*, A and a Distinction*, and will now go onto study computer science at the University of Cardiff. Freya achieved excellent grades in psychology, biology and chemistry and will go onto study psychology at the University of York. Other students will be embarking on new studies in fields as diverse as medicine, bio-medical science, fashion design, engineering, primary teaching and journalism at universities ranging from Swansea, Birmingham, Plymouth, Winchester, UWE, Gloucestershire, Worcester and the Royal Agricultural University. School leaders are also proud of those students who have secured apprenticeships and employment, including Diego with the aerospace company Safran.
Kathleen McGillycuddy, Principal, said: “We are very proud of our Year 13s as they get their well-earned results. They are off to exciting destinations ranging from universities to apprenticeships.
“They have been a year group much disrupted by the pandemic and its aftermath, yet they have shown grit and determination in shaping their own future – what wonderful role models for our school, our wider community and our town. Well done to the whole year group, including those who have excelled against the odds and overcome obstacles to achieve such fine results. Thank you to our teachers who have guided their students to these results and to our parents and carers that work in partnership with us. We wish all our alumni ‘good luck’ on their new adventures and can’t wait to hear all about their successes.”
These results are the first since we joined the Cabot Learning Federation in June.
Cabot Learning Federation Chief Executive Steve Taylor said: “We are immensely proud of these post-16 students. Against the backdrop of the uncertainties and difficulties of recent years, they have shown great resilience and richly deserve the excellent set of results they have achieved today.
“Whether they now plan to move into higher education or the world of work, we wish them every success in their next step – and hope they will continue to show the talent and dedication they have displayed throughout their years of education. Thanks to the team of colleagues who have supported these students over the course of their school careers, and in particularly over the past two years.”
