Principal Brett Freeman commented: “Our role as a sixth form college is to enhance student’s life chances and life choices and I am delighted that we could all work together, so successfully, in achieving those aims.

“We should take time to consider that studentship is not just about grades, it is also about the whole college experience and especially the massive range of extracurricular activities we offer.

“Allowing students to stand out from the 100’s of thousands of other students completing their A levels each year. The vast majority of our leavers will now be taking up their places at university or on high level apprenticeships.

“I know that their positive attitude which has driven them to a wonderful set of results will have further enhanced the skills, abilities and mind set they will need to negotiate the transition to higher education and their early years of employment.”
