“I am once again very proud of all of our Sixth Formers,” she said.

“They deserve tremendous credit for their achievements and have contributed a huge amount to the success of the college during their time here.

“They have been excellent role models and ambassadors and are leaving us bright, well-rounded, with a love for learning and ready to make their mark on the world.

“I wish them all the very best for the future."
