Students and staff at Bishop Laney Sixth Form have secured a fantastic set of Post-16 results this year.
Adam Steels, Head of Bishop Laney Sixth Form, said: “I want to congratulate all our students for their excellent achievements today. Over the last two years, they have overcome many challenges that were beyond their control. The commitment they have continued to show in their studies has been amazing and we could not be prouder.
“We believe our students should have the opportunity to achieve their ambitions, which is why we are proud to offer a very wide range of both A Levels and technical programmes.
“Our approach has been very popular with students and families, resulting in our sixth form growing by 200% since 2017. All our applicants to Russell Group and other leading Universities have been successful in achieving their places, and many other students are preparing to start higher and advanced apprenticeships in the coming weeks.
“We will be available to support and assist anyone who should need it in the coming weeks, and I wish everyone the best of luck in their future endeavours.”
