Louise Henderson, Head of College at S6C is extremely proud of how well students have achieved this year, especially after such a difficult and disrupted 2 years of study. There are many exceptional achievements across the A Level and Vocational courses, and a higher proportion of students than ever before have chosen a university route for their next pathway. More students than ever have achieved aspirational pathways with a high number of students in particular heading to the University of Exeter in September – these are so well deserved. University pathways have become more diverse this year for S6C students and reflect the strengths in our curriculum, including students studying courses such as Computing and Artificial Intelligence.
Louise said, ‘All our students worked really hard with great resilience and we thank our teachers who have worked tirelessly to ensure students are all able to progress onto the right pathways to university, apprenticeships and employment. We are proud of every student, how they have coped with the pandemic and shown such individual perseverance, care towards each other and our community, and tenacity to deal with the challenges they have faced. They are an exceptional group of young adults, and we all wish them every success for the future’.
It was fantastic this morning to celebrate student’s success with them, and their parents, something we were hopeful could happen. Students were delighted and in some cases relieved by the grades they were awarded, and felt that they were as expected based on their performance and hard work. Huge praise was given from parents, thanking staff for the quality of care and learning experience students have received over the 2 years.
