We are very proud of what our students have achieved this year, both academically and in other areas, and I am very privileged in my role to be able to see so many aspects of college life. I often visit classrooms or other events that are taking place in the college and it is always inspiring to see our students’ enthusiasm and progress. I also see staff working incredibly hard for our students and taking pride in their progress, happiness and success. I would like to thank all of the college’s staff for their work. Our year 11 students have recently finished their exams and left college. This is always an emotional moment for staff and students. We are saying ‘goodbye’ to them, but we are also very excited about them going out into the world and what they will achieve there. This year group have made tremendous progress, both academically and personally. Some of them have overcome huge challenges to enable them to enjoy academic success. The preparation for their exams and the exams themselves went well, and we now await the results. We will miss this year group! All other year groups in the school have also completed formal exams.
