STAFF and pupils at Lady Lumley’s School in Pickering celebrated a successful year of A-level results.

Head teacher Richard Bramley said students had maintained high outcomes against a range of performance measures. “We are absolutely delighted for all of them on their wonderful achievements,” he said.

“Our students are moving on to a number of broad and appropriate pathways, with the vast majority of our students beginning university courses at their first choice institutions - many at top establishments - or securing apprenticeships, including those at degree level.”

Mr Bramley added: “Our school community is proud of all of our students. Each of them has had their own personal and academic journey.

“It is never easy saying farewell to our Year 13 students and this group have been a wonderful group to work with and support. They have demonstrated the highest levels of effort and commitment during their studies and these qualities have been paramount in their success. They have been terrific role models for the school community, demonstrating leadership capacity and contributing significantly to the extra-curricular life of the school.

“Lady Lumley’s School sixth form values the development of the whole person. We have seen each student grow as an individual and they should be proud of the young adults that they have become.

“These results demonstrate that our school is continuously providing high quality sixth form education to students in the Ryedale area and more importantly, that students feel challenged and supported to achieve their very best.

“We are immensely proud of them and the successes that they have had, supported and encouraged by the expertise of their teachers and support staff, and we wish them well for whatever they have chosen to do in the next chapter of their lives.”
