The West Coast Sixth Form is joint post 16 provision formed by the collaboration between The Whitehaven Academy and Workington Academy. Both schools are proud members of CET.
The Headteacher of Workington Academy, Mark Bedford said:
“Cumbrian schools are proud to serve our children, their families and the communities they come from. Results this year demonstrate yet again the resilience of Cumbrian youngsters and their dedication to their studies. The achievements of the students are all the more special for the challenges many families have faced due to the cost of living crisis, and we congratulate them all on the manner in which they have conducted themselves in what continues to be extraordinary times.”
“Our students reflect our ethos of ‘Be the Best You Can Be’ with each student striving for their own personal success. We are incredibly proud of the students who have achieved the results required to move on to university, apprenticeships or into employment and we wish them well for the future. More so than ever, students have been faced with adversity, the challenge of level 3 study is never easy, but the skills and strategies our young people have developed during their time in sixth form will ensure that the continue to be successful and resilient throughout their life.’’
“Today is about celebrating some of the incredible achievements of our young people. It is for this reason that we like to recognise the individual success stories below and congratulate all the young people on their achievements today and wish them all the very best for the future.”
The Headteacher of Whitehaven Academy, Nigel Youngman added:
“These results reflect a positive attitude and real determination across both sites. Whether students have studied academic or vocational qualifications, they can be proud in their achievements. One of the pleasures of being part of Cumbrian Education Trust is being part of a dedicated team of professionals who have supported our students to achieve success within a such a warm community. A huge thank you to colleagues and families alike for their support. It is exciting to think about the opportunities that these results have opened up for our students. All of us wish them well and look forward to hearing from them in years to come. A big well done all round.”
