These are just some of the exceptional achievements from this year’s cohort, with many more students achieving results that reflect their individual goals and ambitions.
Looking ahead to the next step
For many of our students, today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Students have secured places at their chosen universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, as well as higher apprenticeships, professional entry routes and other destinations.
Across the curriculum, our students have achieved excellent results. In STEM subjects, 100% of Further Maths students achieved A-B*, while 100% of Chemistry students achieved A-C*. Our vocational provision has also delivered strong outcomes, with 100% of students studying CTEC Sport Double achieving the equivalent of A-B*.
Whatever their next step, we are incredibly proud of the destinations our students have secured and the opportunities that now lie ahead of them.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026!
Today is a celebration of the hard work and determination of our students. We would also like to thank the staff who have supported them throughout their Sixth Form journey, as well as parents and carers for their continued encouragement.
Congratulations to the Wickersley Sixth Form Class of 2026. We are incredibly proud of everything you have achieved and wish you every success for the future.
