Holly Walker, Sports Study Programme Teacher, shared her reflections on this year's success:
“It’s been a privilege to support our students throughout their post-16 journey. Their work ethic, maturity, and growth – both academically and personally – have been incredible to witness. To every graduate – we couldn’t be prouder! You’ve set a high standard and have shown what is possible with commitment and ambition. Whether you're continuing your journey with us or stepping into new opportunities, we know you’ll continue to thrive! Congratulations to our 2025 Graduates!”
Freddie Hudson MBE, Head of Arsenal in the Community, added:
"Yet again, a great cohort of students have come through our NCFE programmes this year with another very strong set of exam results. The courses provide an amazing foundation, which is reinforced by so many ex-students when they come back to visit and tell us, ‘those were the best years of my life’.
"I have to mention the dedication, commitment and passion that our teaching staff consistently show year after year. They take huge pride in their work and drive the highest standards from their students. They believe in young people and are powerful role models, creating such a wonderful environment for our students to thrive."
