Our Year 13 students, under the guidance of Mrs Lobb, have been very busy completing their UCAS application forms for entry to University next year.

Two students have already received offers from their first choices. Rebecca H and Georgia A are very happy to have received offers from Newcastle, Northumbria and York universities. Congratulations!

This year our year 13 leavers were very successful, leaving us with excellent results and securing places at destinations of their choice, including a range of universities across the county, degree apprenticeships, further education and employment.
