The Friary School was thrilled to see their Sixth Form students achieve stand-out exam results after the hard work and commitment they had put in over the last two years.

Overwhelming numbers of students got into their first-choice universities, there were fantastic apprenticeships taken up, and average grades and progress scores were strong once again.

The top-grade performers included:

Amber Hoey A*, A*, A*               Emma Mackenzie A*, A*, A

Jason Chan A*, A*, A, A              Alice Thackaberry A*, A, A

Daisy Holian A*, A*, A, B            Vika Recchytska A*, A, B

Harriet Mieleniewski A*, A, B      Caitlin Hems A*, A, B

Fin Alderson A, A, A             Evie Crowson A, A, A, B

Samuel Wright  A, B, Dist*      Milly Colloff A*, A, B, B

 

Elsewhere, those students who obtained superb results in making the most progress over the last two years were:

Abigail Pinches                       James Parton

Lai Marisa Yi Luan                 Izzy Hobson

Cameron Thain                       Ollie Hateley

Jack Dobson                            Bella Luckhurst

Will Barnes                              Libby Rogers

Erin Gibson                            Meg Mathias

The school’s apprenticeship programme saw positions secured across the legal, surveying, auditing and accounting sectors.

Helen Barratt, Assistant Headteacher, said: “As a school we are challenged with our Sixth Form results, as because our GCSEs are so very high, the Department for Education’s progress measure gives us little room to step up into. Our focus is always very much on individuals, that is very much our bread-and-butter, but it is still pleasing to see the ambition and graft our students put in get the rewards on their individual exam slips, as well as across the headline cohort outcomes.”

Matt Allman, Headteacher, added: “This cohort have achieved great things with us – £1,000s raised for local charities, extensive community work, residential fields trips at home and overseas, widespread volunteering work, and national success stories too. Amidst all of this wider life experience, it is wonderful to see them wrap things up by delivering these excellent exam results. Young people do not always get the praise they deserve, and this group only deserve all the plaudits.”
