Celebrations for Wilsthorpe School students this results day
Students at Wilsthorpe Sixth Form, which is part of The Two Counties Trust, have been collecting a set of fantastic A Level grades today. With half of all grades at A*-B and over three-quarters of all grades at A*-C, 2024 has been another highly successful year for the Sixth Form.
Students, staff and families have come together to celebrate the results of two years of hard work to secure these grades. Particular successes include:
