Canon Slade pupils are preparing for a new chapter in their life after receiving their A-level and BTEC results with one student heading to the University of Cambridge.
Louis Mann achieved 3 A*s in physics, maths and further maths and one A in computer science.
He will begin studying physics at the University of Cambridge in September.
He said: “It’s really good to receive these results. I’ve worked really hard and was confident that I would do well.
“I’m looking forward to studying at Cambridge and I hope to get physics-related job, such as working at NASA or as a rocket scientist, after university.”
Canon Slade headteacher, Karen Sudworth said: “Canon Slade School and Sixth Form want to share huge congratulations with all our students on their achievements throughout the last two years.
“These students were the first to sit GCSE examinations post-pandemic, have shown incredible resilience and determination and we are immensely proud of their fabulous accomplishments.”
“Each of them is exceptional, inspiring, and talented, and we could not be more proud.
“These results are a testament to the hard work and effort of the students, as well as the unwavering support and guidance from their parents/carers and Canon Slade staff.”
Mrs Sudworth also stated that although university was a choice for many students, not all students would be taking this path.
She said: “Our students have earned places in a wide variety of university degree courses, employment and apprenticeships (including those in BAE Systems and Rolls Royce).
“We wish all our students every success as they embark on these new opportunities in the coming weeks.
Student Eleanor Southern received three A*’s and one A in English literature, English language, religious studies and history.
She will now study English literature at the University of York.
She said: “I did better than I initially expected, but I worked hard so I’m glad that it’s paid off.
“I knew I wanted to go to York after attending the open day, I loved the vibe of the city, the people and the course – I felt connected to it.”
“A-levels were a big change from doing GCSE’s but I’m thankful that my teachers were really helpful and supportive.”
