“I would also like to highlight the work put in by West Sussex schools, teachers, parents and carers who have helped students fulfil their potential.

“Our careers team are on hand to provide support for you, whatever you choose to do next.

“There are plenty of opportunities available including further education, apprenticeships and other training, or employment, and support is available to help you fulfil your potential.”
