Rossett Headteacher Praises Students’ Achievements
Rossett School’s headteacher has praised the achievements of all their Year 11 students as GCSE and BTEC results were released today. Mr Tim Milburn is especially proud of their achievements considering all the challenges this cohort have faced during their secondary education. He says, “During the last five years Year 11 students, here and across the country, have had significant periods of their secondary education disrupted. They had a curtailed Year 7, spending at third of their formative year learning at home. Two further periods of school closure occurred in Year 8 and during Year 10 students lost days to teacher strikes, the Queen’s funeral and the King’s Coronation. The results we have seen today have been impressive and testament to the resilience, commitment and determination shown by the Year 11 students.”
During the morning students at Rossett School have been sharing their successes with their friends, families and teachers. The weeks of anticipation and nerves quickly turned to joy and celebration with the opening of that all-important envelope.
Mr Milburn continues, “It has been such a privilege to share these important moments with our students and their families. Having seen them work so hard we are delighted to see their efforts rewarded this morning.”
Rossett School offers a Sixth Form provision and welcomes post 16 applications from current students as well as those from other schools. More information about Rossett’s Sixth Form and the courses available can be found on the school website here and limited places are still available.
Mr Milburn adds, “With these results our students will now have choices about their post 16 career. They also take with them the wonderful character they have shown over the last five years. We wish all our student’s great success in their next steps and look forward to seeing many of them return to our Sixth Form in September to begin Year 12 with us.
In a final comment, Mr Milburn acknowledged the Rossett School community, saying, “Today is all about our wonderful Year 11 students but I would like to thank all the parents and families for their continued support and to all my fantastic colleagues who help to make these results possible.”
