Destinations

As a post 16 centre, we pride ourselves in teaching to destinations and we are delighted each year that our Year 13 students have some impressive destinations planned.

A very impressive 96% of those who joined us in year 12 collected exam results in August 2026. This is well above national average retention data which cites a figure of 92.5% of students completing A-Levels after embarking upon them. 

A great strength of the Sixth Form is that it supports, nurtures and cherishes each student regardless of ability. 

We are proud of every single one of our students and the variety of routes that they are planning to pursue. The local area is in good hands. They are a credit to themselves, their families, the academy and the wider community. 

The following students - in alphabetical order - did brilliantly well and achieved all A* and As in their exams. They all plan to carry on their studies as follows: 

Isabel Bowes will be going to read Veterinary Science at the University of Liverpool after a “year out” working and travelling,

Joseph Brownbridge is going to read Geography at Newcastle University,

Logan Brownhill is going to study Maths and Computer Science at the University of Birmingham,

Joseph Copes is going to study Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield,

Ben Forsdyke is going to read Physics at Durham University,

Sam Gardiner is going to study Aerospace Engineering at the University of Sheffield,

Charlie Linford is going to study Medicine at Brighton and Sussex Medical School,

 Kai Marshall is going to Manchester University to study Physics,

Robin Townend is going to read PPE at the University of Warwick

Isla Walker is going to the University of Leeds to study Food Science and Nutrition 

And Em Walsh is going to study Veterinary Medicine at the University of Edinburgh.

As well as these fantastic outcomes we had a number of students who achieved all A*-B grades with a huge number of A*s and As between them: Rebecca Border, Jacob Clements, Emily Evans, Seb Goodridge, Jessica Jennison, Jean Liversidge, John Marshall, Oliver Marshall, Tehya Noakes, Lucy Popplewell, Isaac Robson-Beck, Abigail Scott, Lucas Taylor-Warner, Holly Thornton, Ben Walker and Lily Whittingham. Kat Watson-Rippon- has achieved a place at York University to read Mathematics.

The good news didn’t stop there and we are seeing the most students in ten years leaving our Sixth Form to go on to different career paths including apprenticeships in the local area and beyond.

We wish every single member of the school who is leaving year 13 all the very best in their future endeavours.
