Nigel Youngman Headteacher at The Whitehaven Academy and Mark Bedford, Headteacher at Workington Academy commented, “We are proud of the achievements of all our students across both campuses at West Coast Sixth Form. These results demonstrate hard work and commitment alongside a strong determination to succeed. The vast majority of our students are moving successfully onto the next stage, whether that be by starting at university or an apprenticeship. We are grateful to The Access Project for their work in enabling students to secure places at Russel Group universities. We would like to thank families and colleagues for their support in achieving these examination results. Alongside these impressive results there were lots of positive outcomes at both sites in Year 12 as the West Coast Sixth Form expands and goes from strength to strength.”
