Holy Trinity Church of England School in Crawley celebrates A-level and Vocational Examinations results

The school told the Obby on Thursday, August 17, that staff and teachers are ‘incredibly proud’ of the students’ achievements.

Headteacher Rev Chrissie Millwood said: “Having not sat GCSE exams in Year 11 due to the pandemic, this has been the first external examination that these students have sat.”

She said: “I am so proud of these young people who have had to deal with so much disruption to their education as a result of the pandemic. Their resilience and determination has been immense and I am confident they will build on their current successes in the future. I am thrilled that the vast majority of these students are going on to study at the university of their choice, while others are beginning opportunities within the world of work. I am thankful to our committed staff for the support they have provided our students during their post-16 studies. Ultimately this day belongs to our students as it represents the rewards they now reap as a result of their dedication. No matter what their next steps are I wish them every success.”
