Kerry Smith Head of Sixth Form at Woldgate School said: "We are immensely proud of this year's students. These results represent years of dedication, resilience and hard work. What is particularly pleasing is that alongside their academic achievements, our students leave us as young people who embody courage, compassion and curiosity. They have contributed enormously to the life of the school and have embraced opportunities that have taken them far beyond the classroom and, in many cases, far beyond Yorkshire. We congratulate them all and look forward to following their future successes."

Amelia said she loved her time at The Consortium Sixth Form College's Wolfreton Campus. "The smaller class sizes meant I always felt genuinely known and valued as an individual. The college has such a close-knit community, and the support from staff was exceptional throughout my time there. Alongside my studies, I had the opportunity to take part in several drama productions and serve as a student ambassador, experiences that helped me grow in confidence and develop valuable skills. Combined with the care, encouragement and guidance I received, these opportunities have left me feeling well prepared and excited for the next chapter at university."
