It is testament to the maturity and perseverance students have shown towards their learning, revision and exams; the commitment and support of our fantastic teaching and support staff; and the ongoing encouragement of families.
I am always proud of our students, and whilst we congratulate them for their academic achievements today, I am equally proud to have watched them grow into wonderful young people who demonstrate a wide range of sporting, music, drama, creative, and entrepreneurial talents. I wish them all the very best of luck in their future studies and I have no doubt that they will continue to achieve as they go forward.”
Mr Smith, Deputy Headteacher added, “Our Year 11 cohort of 2024 should be extremely proud of themselves. Their results exemplify years of hard work, motivation and commitment. I want to express my gratitude to the families for their unwavering encouragement, and to staff here at The Cotswold School for always going that extra mile in preparing and supporting students in their learning. I wish all students the very best with the next stage of their studies, whether they stay on to Sixth Form at The Cotswold School – which the vast majority do – or move to new schools, colleges or work-based training.”
