Matt Sealby, in the second year of his role as director of learning for key stage five, was standing proud as the students collected their results letters.

Matt said: “These results show that with the right work ethic and positive approach to your studies, anything is possible. I am thrilled that our students have been rewarded for the dedication and commitment they have shown to The Littlehampton Academy sixth form. I am thrilled for all of those students who have gained university places and wish them and all of our other leavers the very best of luck in the future.”

Teachers and students are now breathing a sigh of relief, with plenty of people planning to celebrate with their families and friends this afternoon.

Principal Morgan Thomas said: “We are incredibly proud of our students who have worked so hard to get these excellent grades. These are the first results for many of the new, reformed A-levels and students and teachers have worked hard to get to grips with the more demanding content.
