The waiting is over and students of Hessle Sixth Form College are celebrating the results achieved in this year’s A Levels and Vocational qualifications.

And there are some exceptional achievements for the students and staff to celebrate.

The highest attaining student is Jack Sawyer who achieved A* Grades in Chemistry and Maths, along with A Grades in Biology and Physics. Jack also achieved a Grade A in his EPQ and he achieved all of this success while also holding down a key position in the Sixth Form Senior Student Group.
