Headteacher Mr Graham Forbes said: “We are immensely proud of our students for achieving such excellent results across both A Level and vocational qualifications. These grades are a testament to the dedication and determination our students have shown, alongside the outstanding teaching and support provided by the staff here at Sponne School.
Year 13 not only excelled academically but also demonstrated exceptional talent and commitment beyond the classroom, contributing to sport, music, drama, and many other areas of school life. They were a year group whose positive influence was felt throughout the school, serving as superb role models for our younger students.
The diverse range of courses and destinations our students are now pursuing truly reflects our school ethos: Dream, Believe, Achieve. We congratulate all our students on their success and wish them every happiness in the future”.
Mrs Mort, Head of Sponne Sixth Form said: “I want to congratulate all the students on their hard work and resilience. We are so proud of what they have achieved and the work they have put into their studies. I wish them all the best in the future. They all have so much potential with exciting and successful futures ahead of them, in whatever pathway they have chosen.”
