Students have been celebrating their achievements this morning and are set to follow a variety of ambitious pathways including university degrees and apprenticeships. Students have accepted university places at institutions from across the country, including the first student from CTS to go to an Oxbridge University. James H has been with us since year 7 and has worked incredibly hard throughout his time with us. He will be off to St. Anne’s college Oxford soon to study Physics having received four A stars at A level in Chemistry, Physics, Maths and Further Maths.

Angela Reynolds, Principal of Corby Technical School said: “Our Year 13 students have shown exceptional dedication and passion throughout their studies. As they embark on their journeys into higher education, apprenticeships, and diverse career paths, I have no doubt that these young people will have bright prospects and I look forward to hearing everything about their future accomplishments.”

Students were greeted this morning by several of their teachers, who were beaming with pride and thrilled to share celebrations with the students, as well as numerous staff there to support them in their next steps to ensure they have a secured ambitious routes for their future plans.

Angela continued: “It is wonderful to see the relationships that staff and students have developed over their years with us. I would like to thank everyone who has supported the students through their education journey with us, in particular their teachers, school staff and their parents or carers.

“Most importantly, we want to thank our students for trusting us to be part of their education and we hope to see you return to Corby Technical School, as you will be an inspiration for future school leavers”
