Staff and students have been celebrating at Medina College today as Year 11 received their
GCSE results. Despite the pandemic disrupting parts of their learning, students have
demonstrated resilience, positive attitudes and commitment to their studies; they should all
feel very proud of their achievements. These students leave us with a strong set of results
which show great progress across a wide range of subjects.
Provided outstanding support
Teaching and support staff have provided outstanding support to students this year, providing additional revision sessions, resources and targeted intervention work. Their dedication to the students’ success is to be commended and has ensured that students achieved their full potential.
The majority of students are moving on to take A Level and vocational Level 3 courses at The Island VI Form. However, students are also progressing into a range of apprenticeships and other further education studies both on and off the Island.
Pearce-Jones: Their hard work has paid off
Phil Pearce-Jones, Head of School for Medina College, said,
“It has been an absolute pleasure to celebrate with students today as they opened their results. Their hard work has paid off and they leave us with skills and qualities that will stand them in good stead for their futures.
“Our mantra has always been about students being the best version of themselves and today is all about celebrating this. My thanks go to the staff and parents for their unwavering support. I wish each and every student all the best as they progress on their chosen post-16 pathway.”
Next steps
If any year 11 students across the Island are undecided about their next step, it is not too late to join the Island VI Form – the HISP MAT post-16 provision on the Island.
Students at The Island VI Form thrive in an environment that is solely focused on post-16 teaching and learning, making it the perfect stepping stone between school and university, apprenticeship or the world of work.
