We are delighted that the majority of our students will be staying on with us at Sixth Form, while others are moving on to college and vocational courses that will help them pursue their next steps and future ambitions. As they continue on their journey of learning, we know they have built a solid foundation for success here with us and we wish them all the best for the future.”
