Coombe Sixth Form students celebrate their achievements

Our 2022 Sixth Form students have faced a unique and challenging two years and we are incredibly proud of their resilience, adaptability and dedication to their studies. Today for many of our students we celebrate the culmination of their seven year journey as Coombe learners. They have remained hard working, committed and kind and we wish them all success as they take their next steps into the wider world of opportunity.

This is the first year that students have taken summer exams since 2019. It is therefore fantastic to see so many of our young people securing first choice university places to continue their studies. We were pleased to be able to speak with many this morning whose success on A Level and BTEC Level 3 pathways has pathed the way for their next steps.

Just some of the students celebrating this morning amongst many include:

• Two students off to read Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Warwick University

• One to study of Geography at Oxford University

• One to study Dentistry at King’s College London

• One to study Engineering at Bristol University

• One reading Classics at Oxford University

• One studying English Literature at Bristol University

• One reading Law at Kingston University

• One studying Graphic Design at UCA

• One studying Physics at Imperial College London

• One studying History and Politics at Leeds University

The ongoing support and dedication of our staff, students and their families has been exceptional and we congratulate all our students on their achievements and wish them the very best for the future.

Director of Coombe Sixth Form, Mr Robert Smith, commented:

"We are immensely proud of all our Coombe students and it is incredibly pleasing to see their dedication, resilience and talent rewarded today. We are thrilled to have played a supporting role in building the foundations to enable their future success.”

As our Year 13 students take their next steps we look forward to keeping in contact with them through the Coombe Alumni and hearing of their further successes.
