A-Levels: Corby Technical School

It was all smiles at Corby Technical School as students picked up their A-Level results today.

The school says it's been a successful year with rising grades across a range of subjects enabling pupils to gain places on courses including architecture, physics, biomedical science and engineering, as well as more traditional options such as accountancy, English and psychology.

One student, Kacper, is going to study law at the University of Exeter after gaining two As and a B.

He said: "It is something I have always been interested in and I’d like to be a barrister."

Champion archer Iulia Petre, who represents Great Britain, is going to the University of Loughborough to study psychology.

She has been accepted on the elite athlete pathway so she will continue her sport alongside her studies and she has aspirations to compete in the Olympics.

Another student, Tyrell, is going to study engineering at the University of Coventry with the opportunity to take up work placements in the second year and expand his experience.

Principal Angela Reynolds said: "This year group was only the second cohort through the school and the first who actually inhabited the building so they hold a special place in our history.

"They are a very talented and tightly knit group so the fact that have all secured the courses and careers they wanted is excellent.

"It was lovely to welcome them back for results day and to see them happy and excited for their future.

"Everyone at Corby Technical School wishes them all the best for the future."
