YEAR 11 students at UTC Reading are collecting their GCSE results on Thursday, August 25.
Executive Principal of UTC Reading, Jonathan Nicholls, said: “What an important moment this is for our Year 11 students today.
“Having joined the UTC in September 2020 at the end of the first national lockdown, these students adapted to the UTC brilliantly and despite the ongoing disruption of the last two years have demonstrated resilience, flexibility and focus throughout their time with us.
“We have students that have achieved results that really do reflect the fact that they have done the best they can, with what they have got, in the moment they are in.”
He said that while examinations and end-of-point assessments come with huge pressure for young people, “they have risen to the challenge brilliantly.
“I am really proud that through their achievements they have secured places either to continue with us at the UTC in our sixth form or to continue their education with other schools and colleges to follow different subject specialisms.
“Some students have secured opportunities to start apprenticeships programmes.
“I am proud of each of the students for the journey they have been on, what they have achieved and am excited about where this experience will take them next and wish them all the best for the future.”
