We thank all our staff who have taught this cohort with dedication and expertise to help unlock student potential. We will now support all our students to progress to university or apprenticeships.”
Kerry Payne, Principal of Lowestoft Sixth Form College, said: “We are very proud of our students’ achievements and the hard work and dedication they have demonstrated throughout their studies. This year’s students will progress onto fantastic destinations including a range of high-quality apprenticeship and degree programmes.
“Our students have demonstrated resilience and determination, overcoming challenging times and securing their academic and vocational achievements alongside the development of skills and character needed for their next steps. I am confident that they will continue to build on their successes into the next stage of their lives. They should be very proud of themselves and each other.”
