Congratulating students on their results, Connie James, Assistant Principal and Head of Sixth Form at The Regis School said:
“Our students have been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout their time with us; they are a very special year group to me! I am so, so proud of all they have achieved; their hard work and dedication has been well rewarded. They will be sorely missed by me, the Sixth Form team and their teachers, but we all know they will go on to do brilliant things at their chosen Universities and Apprenticeship placements. I would like to take this opportunity to wish them all the very best and we look forward to hearing all about their next steps.”
Mike Garlick, Principal of The Regis School, added:
“Our Sixth Form students have worked extremely hard over the last two years to achieve their results this year. With new linear and BTEC courses being more complex than in the past, I am proud of our students and their teachers in being able to make the progress we have when compared to last year. We have a record number of students applying for and gaining places at universities around the country and others gaining high level apprenticeships.
“Our Sixth form offers an exciting and successful blend of academic and applied courses and each year the numbers joining it increases.
“I wish all students the very best for their futures!”
