Students, parents and staff at Malton Sixth Form have been celebrating another set of strong results.

Staff said it has been very pleasing to see the vast majority of students successfully achieving what they needed to move on to their desired next career step. In many cases this is a move on to University but there are good numbers securing apprenticeships, employment or opting to take a gap year.

Headteacher, Rob Williams, said: “These students have faced a heightened level of adversity with both their GCSE and Sixth Form courses impacted in different ways by the pandemic. They deserve great praise for their resilience in the face of these additional difficulties and they should all be very proud of what they have achieved.”

The Director of Sixth Form, Nicky-Jo Cooper, said: “There has been so much to celebrate today, including some students achieving beyond their expectations. I am incredibly proud of all the students. I want to thank them for being an excellent cohort and wish them all the very best for their future endeavours.”
