Many of our students are returning to our highly successful 6th Form where we will enjoy seeing them develop further. We are all very proud of our students’ achievements and wish them a wonderful day of celebration with their family and friends.”
Alex Connor, who achieved an outstanding 4 9’s, 3 8’s, and a 7, Distinction, commented, “I am very shocked but in a good way! I rang my Mam straight away and she started crying with happiness. I’m planning to stay at St Wilfrid’s Sixth Form because I love how familiar it is and I know I’ll be supported. I’m planning to study sciences and psychology.”
Macy Bulman was rewarded for her hard work with 2 9’s, 4 8’s, 3 7’s, and a D*, Macy said, “I’m happy, they’re even better than I expected.” We wish Macy good luck as she is going on to the prestigious Marine School to study engineering.
Another student, Ethan Black, who is planning on staying at St Wilfrid’s RC College’s Sixth Form to study math, physics and philosophy and ethics, received 4 9’s, 3 8’s, 2 7’s, and a D*. He wanted to thank all his teachers for all their hard work that they’ve put in, “every single teacher deserves a shout out, there’s too many to mention.” Finally saying, “Anyone that’s joining St Wilfrid’s in September should know it’s an excellent choice.”
Other notably high achievers were Maisy Tomlin who received achieved 4 9’s, 5 8’s, and a D* and Chloe Warnock who was delighted with her achievement of grades 4 9’s, 5 8’s, and a 7. Chloe says she was relieved, “Waiting to get the results I was trying to just not think about it as it was so nerve-racking, but now I’ve got them I can just focus on the future. Now that I’ve opened them I’m so happy, it’s the best thing I could have hoped for.”
Finally, Brogan Forster celebrated her results of 5 9’s, 3 8’s and 2 7’s. Brogan enthused, “I’m very happy with my results they’re really good. When I opened the envelope, I hoped they’d be good, but I was nervous opening them still. Next year I plan on staying at St Wilfrid’s for Sixth form and I’d like to study biology chemistry history and psychology.”
