BENTON Park School in Rawdon welcomed Year 13 students into school today as they opened the all-important envelope containing their A level results.
It marks the end of two years of very hard work during their time at Benton Park Sixth Form.
A school spokesperson said: "This year group have been tremendous, the years have flown by, most of them having doubled in stature and confidence since they arrived, and they have made the most of all the opportunities in and away from the classroom. We will miss them but know that they leave with big horizons and life-long friends.
"They now face an exciting phase as they prepare for their chosen Post 18 destinations. Many of them are going on to study a variety of different courses at a wide range of prestigious universities including Cambridge and many Russell Group destinations as well as specialist centres and Apprenticeships."
Chair of Governors, Vic Clarke said: “I am absolutely thrilled with the results of all of our students and on behalf of the Governors would like to pass on my sincere thanks to their teachers, for the dedication with which they serve our students.”
Headteacher Nicholas Skilton said: “It is a real pleasure to be able to celebrate results day with our Sixth Form students today. Our students receiving their results today have worked incredibly hard during their time in Sixth Form and have risen to the challenges they have been faced with. We are incredibly proud of all that they have achieved both academically and socially as they have progressed into outstanding young people. They should feel very proud of their achievements today. I would like to wish them all the very best of luck as they look forward to the next chapter of their journey moving on to study a wide and exciting range of subjects at university and on higher apprenticeships. I would also like to thank our committed teaching staff, who have gone above and beyond in providing excellent teaching, support and inspiration for our students. The high aspirations they have for our students really do support and encourage our young people to achieve their very best.”
The vast majority of students achieved grades A* - C with many achieving A*-B grades.
Achieving some of these top grades are Morgan Butler, Betsy Cross, Samuel Fines, Alexander Greenwood, Lily Belle King, Charlotte Miller, Joe Shaw, Billy Taylor-Rowe and Lei Wang.
