Hard work pays off for students at City of Norwich School who collected their post-16 results today.
The sixth form students at the academy have achieved some exceptional results following a year of determination and commitment in preparing for their exams.
The students’ successes have enabled many of them to secure places at prestigious universities, on esteemed apprenticeships and in highly skilled employment.
While all students have done well, there have been some impressive individual performances. These include:
- Our head students, Malini, Danicke and Lucy, who have made such a difference across the school by leading the national award-winning school magazine, projects on mental health and diversity, and who have achieved superb grades between them. All three students have been accepted for their first-choice universities at University of East Anglia, University of Sheffield and Queen Mary University of London.
- Many students achieved all A*/A grades and have been accepted on exciting courses at the top universities, including several students who will be going to Oxford University and Cambridge University, to study a range of courses.
- Individual stories of excellent achievement include those overcoming adversity. Two students from Ukraine are going to the University of Manchester and University of Sheffield to study engineering and architecture.
