\u201cI am immensely proud of our students\u2019 achievements this year,\u201d says Headmaster James Passam. \u201cThey have worked hard over the past two years in order to achieve A Levels that reflect their academic tracking through the year, and which have\u00a0 enabled our students entry to some excellent university courses. In addition to their exam results, it is important to remember and celebrate all of the other achievements so many of our students can be proud of beyond the classroom.\u201d<\/p>

I am excited by the courses that our cohort will go on to pursue at university, and look forward to following their continued successes.\u201d<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cThe teachers were the reason I decided to stay at Farlington for Sixth Form\u201d said Issy, who joined Farlington in Year 2, \u201cthey really get to know you well, so I trusted them to put me on the right path which has really helped to get me to where I am today. They always go above and beyond for you.\u201d Issy is taking a gap year before starting a Master\u2019s Degree in Forensic Science and Criminal Psychology.<\/p>

In addition to our Year 13 students, we are particularly proud of three Year 10 students who achieved A* grades in their A Level Russian and two Year 12 students who achieved A grades in their AS Drama.
