By the Bridge are pleased to announce some truly fantastic A-Level and BTEC results achieved by our young people last week, which sees five of them head off to university this September!
With only 12% of care experienced people entering higher education compared to 42% of all other pupils, we’re super proud of them for achieving such outstanding results, all whilst in the middle of a pandemic.
Camila* achieved a Distinction and 2 Merits in BTEC Musical Theatre, whilst also gaining an A in A-Level Portuguese and a B in A-Level Spanish. She will be attending LMA later this year to study Acting and Performance.
Jessica*, who has been with By the Bridge since 2016, passed her Health and Social Care course and will be off to Hull University.
Libby* gained 3 B’s in her A-Levels and will be off to Bangor University to study Psychology and Forensics.
Holly*, who has been with us since 2015, gained a Merit in her Level 3 BTEC and will be studying at Huddersfield University.
And last but not least, Clarisse*, who has been with us since 2012, achieved 3 Distinction* in her BTEC exams and will be attending Sheffield University this September.
By the Bridge Education Advisor, Ed Lambert-Clarke, said; “Given the unsettled nature of their education over the last 18 months, they have achieved something quite remarkable.”
Education Manager, Caroline Hallett, went on to add: “This is truly amazing – to have five young people go through to University is a real achievement, and given the long stable placements they have been in, is a testament to the power of solid therapeutic fostering.”
Once again, a huge congratulations to all of our talented, hard-working young people who are one step closer to achieving their dreams. Without the love and support of their Foster Parents and our team, this may not have been possible so we would also like to extend a huge thank you to them for their continued dedication and support.
Each young person will be receiving a personalised congratulatory letter and voucher to show them just how proud we are of them.
