A levels: Seaford College students showed 'tremendous resilience'

Headmaster John Green said: “I’m immensely proud of the results all of our students have achieved. Despite the challenges of the past 18 months, they have shown tremendous resilience, been focused and worked really hard – all of which is reflected in their grades.”

Seaford students celebrated success across a broad curriculum and local students shared what they’ll be doing next.

Erin Harte from Duncton gained an A* and two As and is taking a gap year to gain work experience to pursue her dreams to be a vet.

Mr Green continued: “These superb results see the highest number of Seaford students ever going to university this year, and the highest number ever heading to their first choice. We also have the highest number of offers from Russell Group universities. I am so proud of what we have achieved through teamwork with students, staff and parents.

“I would like to wish all of our students every success in future studies, employment and gap year adventures. We wish the students who have decided to defer and do a gap year a productive year, and we look forward to advising you with our post-examination service when you start to apply for universities. Stay in touch and I look forward to welcoming you back for alumni events in the future.”
