WEST Lakes Academy staff and students have receive their 2022 A Level results, these set of results are the first which were not teacher led after a two year break from exams.
The school have had a successful year of results with students going on to their desired next path. The school explained that the number of students opting for university or an apprenticehsip is entirely mixed.
Principal, James Jackson said:
“Cumbrian schools are proud to serve our children, their families and the communities they come from. Over the last two years due to the Covid 19 pandemic this, for sustained periods has been a trying time, for both students and staff. The achievements of the students are all the more special given the challenges they faced while studying over the last two years. We congratulate them all on the manner in which they have coped in these quite extraordinary times.”
Assistant Principal and Head of Sixth Form, Andrew Haslop, added:
“It is a privilege to see so many ecstatic students receiving what can only be described as another set of fantastic results for themselves and also West Lakes Academy."
These students committed themselves to two years of intensive study that has culminated in some exceptional outcomes. The most important thing about these results however is that they will secure a route not only for our students to further their education as far afield as the USA or London but to also begin higher and advanced level apprenticeships within the local area and to share their learning and achievements with the local and global communities into which they now enter.”
