YEAR 13 students at Theale Green School celebrated a successful results day on Thursday, August 18.
Excited A Level and BTEC students made one final trip into school to collect their results in the morning.
Many will embark on higher education courses, reading a range of subjects at universities such as Bath, York, Southampton, Loughborough, Leeds, Cardiff and Swansea.
Amy McLaren will read Biomedical Sciences at the University of York. The school described her achievements as ‘astonishing’ given that she arrived from New Zealand at the start of Year 11; where she had previously studied very little science.
Jo Halliday, Executive Principal said, “We can never overestimate the impact that lockdown had on this cohort of students in Year 11, and then again in Year 12; their resulting destinations represent the high aspirations and determination they have shown over this challenging period.
“This year group played a pivotal role in putting life back into the school through the House system and sports last summer, and we expressed our gratitude to them for this at their leavers’ assembly.
“We very much look forward to welcoming them all back to present their certificates in December, and we wish them much happiness moving forward”.
Charlotte Badarello, Head of School, said, ”We are really proud of the accomplishments of our year 13 students. This summer’s exams were the first external assessments the group have taken as they were unable to sit GCSEs in 2020.
“The last two years have been incredibly tough, including periods of remote learning, but this incredible group have demonstrated great tenacity and resilience and have made real impact on the culture of learning and wellbeing at Theale Green School.
“This year group will also include students who will be the first in their family to go to university; it is a tremendous achievement, and we are very proud of every one of them.”
