A-Levels Chichester High School Sixth Form - August 2020
Delighted to see our Year 13 students this morning.
Today we had the privilege of welcoming our Year 13 students back into school for their long-awaited results. We were aware that not all schools and Colleges were opening for results days, but for us, it was important that we marked the importance of today and ensured we could work with our students and their families.
This cohort of students has demonstrated a level of resilience that is truly amazing. As a group of young people, they have supported each other, worked together, and given our school community many years of joy and service. Throughout their time at CHS these students have taken part in fundraising, Duke of Edinburgh, Debating, CCF, been successful in gaining places on a variety of summer schools and prestigious work placements, as well as supporting across the school from sport to our SEN department.
The results today reflected the hard work and commitment of these students. We wish Ishika Dutta (pictured above) all the best as she prepares to study Engineering at Cambridge University.
Despite the changes surrounding these grades, we are really proud that record numbers of our students are heading off to study at Russell Group Universities, including Kings, UCL and Warwick. Our Sports Academy continues to go from strength to strength with more pupils gaining Distinctions than ever before and taking up places at University to continue their passion for sport.
A truly special year group that will go on to do amazing things.
