We are particularly pleased that:

• 42 students (over a fifth of our cohort) have achieved an average grade of an A or A*
• 86% of our 150 university applicants have secured a place at their preferred institution
• 3 Didcot Sixth Form students are going on to study at Oxford or Cambridge

James Cross, Director of Didcot Sixth Form, said:

"We are incredibly proud of our Year 13 students. They have been an outstanding group, showing determination, resilience, and a strong work ethic from the very beginning. What stands out most is the care and support they have shown for one another, as well as their leadership within our school community. They have made a positive and lasting impact, leaving a legacy of improvement and kindness. I have no doubt that each of our leavers is set for success in the diverse paths they have chosen to pursue."
