Ella said: ‘I chose to come to KTS sixth form due to the range of opportunities available including The Duke of Edinburgh award, music, drama and student leadership. Experiences like Gold DofE are some of my best memories from sixth form, the support with my university application had been incredible.’

Gill Hopkins, Head of Sixth Form, added:

“As a Sixth Form team we continue to be so proud of the hard work of both our teaching staff and students in battling an educational climate of continued change, to produce such solid results. Our students are now looking towards the next stage of their education and careers, ranging from advanced apprenticeships to employment, further study at university.
