Our staff are on hand to help support and guide all students as they look ahead to confirm future plans. We have a number of students accepting university places, others are heading into apprenticeships or employment. Exciting times ahead for all!

“Our young people should be extremely proud of their results. This success is the result of the commitment and hard work that students have demonstrated throughout the Sixth Form. Everyone at the school has remained committed and worked hard to give our students the greatest chance of success.

I speak on behalf of all staff at TBCS when I say that we are incredibly proud of their achievements. We are very excited to see them take their next steps into higher education, employment or apprenticeships and look forward to watching them flourish and achieve their potential. I hope students can now celebrate their deserved success and enjoy some time with family and friends.” (Paul McCahill, Headteacher)

Victoria Donovan, Head of Sixth Form, commented:

“I am incredibly proud of our Year 13 students and the outstanding A Level and BTEC results they have achieved this year. These outcomes are a testament not only to their determination, focus, and high levels of motivation, but also to the tireless support and expertise of their subject teachers.”

“What makes this cohort truly remarkable, however, goes far beyond their grades. Over their time in the Sixth Form, they have demonstrated resilience in the face of challenges, courtesy and kindness towards others, and a genuine commitment to our school community. They have been excellent role models, showing themselves to be caring, determined, and inspiring ambassadors for both the Sixth Form and the school as a whole.”

“They should be immensely proud of all they have accomplished, both academically and personally. I am excited to see the bright futures ahead of them, and I have no doubt that they will go on to make a positive difference in whatever paths they choose.”
