Summer Success for Sixthform@Latimer
Success is more than outcomes and league tables. Whilst we are delighted with our highest ever average points score, what makes us proud are the pathways now open to them. The combination of students’ hard work and the dedication of the staff who taught and supported them has meant that all students have been able to access their chosen destinations.
Overwhelmingly sixth form students at The Latimer Arts College have achieved or exceeded their predictions, and importantly students have made good progress. Several students have achieved the very top grades possible. ¼ of all grades were A*- A and nearly half were A*-B at A Level. Equally pleasing are the BTEC results with nearly ¾ of students achieving Distinction/Distinction* grades in these vocational subjects.
At Latimer we are passionate about unlocking students' potential and inspiring ambitious futures. This year has shown what students are capable of when you believe in them. We wish them well as they follow their dreams.
Message from Assistant Principal Kerry Gallon:
Studying for Level 3 qualifications is demanding, and this year our Sixth Form students have once again demonstrated remarkable resilience, determination and commitment in overcoming every challenge along the way.
I am genuinely proud and delighted by the individual successes of every one of our students. Behind each result is a personal journey, and it has been fantastic to see students achieve their goals, whether that means progressing to university, securing an apprenticeship, entering employment, taking time to travel, or embarking on an exciting new adventure.
What makes these achievements particularly special is the individual progress each student has made. I am incredibly proud of the hard work, perseverance and ambition they have shown throughout their time at The Latimer Arts College, and of the many different pathways they are now able to pursue.
Message from Principal Kathryn Murphy:
We are so proud of the outcomes our students have achieved but also for all the additional opportunities they grasped during their time with us. They have gained skills and developed their characters, preparing themselves well for life beyond Latimer. They have had a positive impact at Latimer as fantastic role models, and we will miss them but wish them well for the next stage of their lives. We look forward to hearing about their future successes as part of the Latimer Alumni.
Student Achievements:
Several students have achieved particularly exceptional personal outcomes, exceeding expectations and demonstrating just how far determination and ambition can take you.
We are also incredibly proud of Grace Lamb, Michael Wyldes and Archie Coles whose outstanding Level 3 results reflect the exceptional progress they have made since GCSE. Students are set targets based on their GCSE results and these students exceeded them by 6, 5 and 4 grades respectively. These individual journeys are a wonderful illustration of the resilience, commitment and ambition shown by our Sixth Form students.
