Michael Burr, Director of Sixth Form, said: "Callum, a former Writhlington 'Young Person of the Year', is proof that with courage, resilience and determination, individuals can achieve what may have seemed unattainable goals.

"We also congratulate George Beechener, who has combined his academic excellence, sporting prowess and musical talents throughout his time at Writhlington School and will now read Geography at Brasenose College, Oxford."

Alongside outstanding academic achievement, three students – Maisie Hillier, Charlotte May-Messer and Hannah Regan, have achieved Grade 8 Singing. Michael Burr, Director of Sixth Form, said, "All staff have commented on how impressed they have been with the whole year group throughout their time at Writhlington. As well as being dedicated and hardworking, they have always shown loyalty to and support for each other."

"Writhlington School is proud of its students and what they have achieved. Their success comes as no surprise, given the consistent commitment shown during their time here. We are delighted with their results," said Headteacher Mark Everett. "Almost every single student has been able to go to their first choice of university or has secured courses in Further Education (including Foundation Degrees in Arts) or apprenticeships with a quality career path (including Ministry of Defence and Wessex Water).
