Wellsway School and IKB Academy is celebrating the achievements of its Sixth Form students as a result of their performance in their A-Level and vocational qualifications.
“I am extremely proud of all our students, so many have worked exceptionally hard and clearly been rewarded for their ability to adapt and maintain a sustained focus on their learning,” said Amy Chapman, Director of Sixth Form, Wellsway and IKB.
“The past two years of their education has come with significant challenges, and I’m pleased that so many now have the qualifications and skills they need to go on to the next stage of their life.

Best of luck to all of you in your future and please keep in touch.”

We would like to thank the students and teachers for their hard work, and the parents for their support, over the last seven years.
