Head of Sixth Form at The Ferrers School, Helen Prince, said: “We are incredibly proud of our students. They worked so hard and several of our students had to contend with some challenging personal circumstances this year. The results are testament to the incredible work ethic of this cohort.”
Vice Principal at The Ferrers School, Esther Gray, added: “We are delighted that our students have secured their future pathways. Many are going to study undergraduate courses at university and others have secured apprenticeships in different career sectors.”
While students are heading to a range of destinations, a number have secured their chosen university courses including:

Angela Smith, Principal of The Ferrers School, said: “We are proud of our students and wish them all continued success in the future. Our sixth form students and staff have worked incredibly hard and it is very rewarding to see their dedication pay off as students prepare to go on to university, apprenticeships or their chosen career. We would also like to thank the parents of our school community who have actively supported our work during their child’s time with us.”
This year group were the final cohort of The Ferrers School students to work as part of The East Northants College (TENC) - a local consortium of schools. The Ferrers Sixth Form is now a stand-alone post-16 provision working in collaboration with the 16 to 19 community in The Meridian Trust, drawing on the extensive knowledge and experience they bring.
Mark Woods, Chief Executive Officer at Meridian Trust, added: “It is brilliant to see such fantastic results at The Ferrers School. These results are a testament to the students’ hard work as well as the quality of education provided here. I wish all the students the very best in their future endeavours, whether that involves studying at university, completing apprenticeships, or entering the workforce directly.”
