Whitby School celebrates 'great set' of A-level and BTEC results

Students have excelled across a wide range of subjects while making significant contributions to the wider life of the school through sport, the arts, volunteering, leadership and community engagement.

As they collect their results, many students are preparing to embark on the next stage of their journey.

A large number have secured their places at universities where they will pursue degrees in subjects ranging from English, engineering and law to archeology and psychology.

Others are choosing to take gap years for the opportunity to travel or enter employment, reflecting the diverse ambitions and talents of the year group.

The college say the results reflect not only academic excellence but also the remarkable character of this year’s cohort.

Head of Sixth Form Andrew Whelan said: "We are incredibly proud of our students and all they have achieved.

"These results are a testament to their hard work, dedication and determination but they tell only part of the story.

"This is a cohort of talented, kind, thoughtful and well-rounded young people who have contributed enormously to our school community.

"We are delighted to see them moving on to such exciting opportunities and have every confidence that they will continue to thrive in whatever path they choose.”

Head of School, Julie Caddell, is most proud of how the students have demonstrated maturity, positive attitude and willingness to support one another.

“Their achievements reflect not only individual effort but also the support of families, teachers and the wider school community,” she said.

“As students look ahead to university, employment, apprenticeships, travel and new adventures we celebrate not only what they have achieved, but also the exceptional young adults they have become and we wish them every success and happiness for the future.”
