Mrs Penny Prince, Head of Sixth Form at King Edward VI Academy, said:

“I would like to congratulate all our students in both year groups on their well-deserved success and achievements – I am very proud of them. There are no secrets to success: it’s the result of preparation, persistence, perseverance, and hard work. Here at King Edward VI Academy it is a joint effort – a partnership between the students and the staff. This is a very exciting time for our students, who take with them our warmest good wishes for the next step of their journey –  I am sure they will go on to accomplish great things. To our students: you are one step closer to your dreams; enjoy what you do and success will follow!”

The students and staff celebrated as they started arriving at the school this morning and opening their envelopes. Louis Croves who received Distinction in Business Studies, Distinction in Sport and B in Finance, was thrilled with his results. Louis said: “I am happy with my results as they are better than I expected. I will now continue to work on becoming a successful sports coach.”
