“As always, results day has been one of high emotion and anticipation for us here at college”, said Tina McMillan, Director of Sixth Form, “This has been another exceptional year group who have developed both academically and personally during their time here at Tarporley. This cohort have managed a most difficult and tumultuous educational context and they should be commended for their mature approach, teamwork as well as their resilience. The majority of our students do choose to go to university, however we have many students who have secured Apprenticeships, employment and gap year opportunities and we also celebrate these achievements. Today is just reward for all their hard work, supported by their families and the dedicated staff at the school. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Year 13 every success for the future. We really will miss them all!”
