Students at Bishop Luffa School were already smiling as they picked up their results this morning, as most knew that they had secured places at university or on degree apprenticeships before they arrived at school. They will soon be leaving Chichester to study at universities across the country. Exeter is the most popular destination, followed by Cardiff, Southampton and Bristol.
The range of subjects that students are going on to study is equally broad. The most popular degrees are in the subject areas of Law, Business, Engineering and Science but there are students who will be taking up places to read History and Russian, Animation, Interior Architecture, Digital and Media Design, Speech and Language Therapy, Hair Make-Up and Prosthetics, Journalism, Building Surveying, Japanese Studies and Musical Theatre, to name but a few!
Aaron Butters was awarded the most A-levels overall, with 5, which included three A*s. Aaron is now off to Oxford to study English and German.
