THE headteacher of Queen Elizabeth’s School in Crediton has said she is “incredibly proud” of students who have received their A-level and vocational results.

The graduating sixth-formers will now be heading to university, taking a gap year or doing local jobs and apprenticeships. Most students achieved a place at their first-choice university.

Liv Frisby gained the school’s highest A-level grades in biology, psychology and physical education. She will go on to study biological sciences at Cardiff University.

Another top achiever was Head Boy Willem Snowdon, whose A-level maths, further maths, chemistry and physics marks have won him a place at the University of Sheffield to study mechanical engineering.

Reece Carter’s success in English literature, history and theatre studies will take him to the University of Southampton for film studies.

And Evie Brotherton, who studied A-level sociology, psychology and biology, is now set to take up a new job as a secondary school SEND teaching assistant.

“Today is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our students and the progress they have made throughout their time with us,” Queen Elizabeth’s School Headteacher Paula Smith said.

“We are incredibly proud of the commitment they have shown and everything they have achieved.

“Our sixth form students have not only achieved academically, but have also grown through the experiences they have been part of, from exploring new subjects and ideas to contributing to the wider life of QE.

“It has been a privilege to support this group of young people, and we wish every one of them every success as they move on to their chosen pathways.”

Ted Wragg Trust CEO Moira Marder added: “Congratulations to every student collecting their A-level and vocational qualification results.

“Reaching this milestone is a tremendous achievement and one that reflects years of hard work, strong teaching and community support.”
