Sian Beresford, student said:
“I’m feeling absolutely over the moon with my results and the hard work has been all worthwhile with the support from my teachers throughout. My teachers have inspired me to continue my studies with a renewed passion and I can’t wait to start this next chapter at University of Cardiff!”

“I am so pleased with my results and can’t wait to go to Edinburgh to study Geography. Writhlington has given me so many opportunities to do amazing things: Three Peaks, Gold DofE, Ten Tors 55 Mile, CCF and Head Girl and to top it off I have walked away with 3 As.

“In a period of change and challenge within the exam system, I could not be more happy and proud of how our students have done. They have been a fantastic year group, who have added a great deal to the school, they are a credit to themselves and their parents. I wish them all the best for the future and look forward to hearing what they get up to as they move onto new adventures”.
