'Incredible' A level results are celebrated at Buxton Community School

Students at the school, like those across the country, have endured huge disruption to their education over the last two years, but their hard work and determination has paid off with another strong set of exam results.

The school said: “As always, we are thrilled with the performance of our Sixth Form students and are once again pleased to be celebrating some incredible A-level results which reflect the dedication and drive we expect at BCS.

"We are always proud of our Sixth Formers and their achievements but are especially delighted with this cohort of young people given the disruption they have experienced including not being able to sit their GCSEs. It has been a long and sometimes difficult journey but one that has finally brought much reward.

“Over the past two years, our students have developed resilience, strength and determination and have been encouraged to be confident and ambitious which has led to some amazing results and very exciting destinations; Jacob will be reading maths at Cambridge; Eleanor is off to study medicine at Edinburgh, Frankie has secured a degree apprenticeship with Mace Group and Elspeth will undertake a course in Equine Performance and Rehabilitation. We are sending students off to pursue courses and careers in: veterinary nursing, professional policing, neuroscience, film and TV production, paramedic practice etc and we couldn’t be more proud.”
