Pupils at our unique Sixth Form study Professional Pathways in Applied Science, Business, Exercise and Sport. Our BTEC results put us in the top 10% of schools in the country!
Pupils will be going to a variety of top destinations including the University of Warwick, Queen Mary’s and the University of Reading.
Becky Curtis, Principal, said: ‘We could not be more proud of our students this year – they are outstanding role models and have made such a difference for our community in their time at Elvin, have achieved great results and are now moving onto fantastic universities. Our 6th form is designed to keep the doors to university and top apprenticeships open to young people for whom A Levels are not the right qualification and once again our pupils have shown that they can make extraordinary progress and achieve at the very highest levels. Go team elvin!
