She said: “I’ve loved it, it was definitely the best thing coming to this Sixth Form!”
Bernadette Letissier, director of sixth form, said: “I’m really pleased for these students. They’ve had a lot to contend with over the last two years.
“I’m delighted that their resilience and hard work has been rewarded, and I’m confident that they are ready to take up their place as responsible and productive citizens.”
Headteacher Mrs McKeagney said she was humbled by the dignity of our students today and the way they are preparing for their next chapter.
She commented: “We wish them every success with their future.”
