Pudsey students celebrate GCSE success

Our Step Up students have been celebrating their GCSE results, paving the way for lots of exciting opportunities.

One of those students was Anum Naeem, who passed her exams by securing a grade 7 in science, a grade 6 in maths and citizenship, and a grade 5 in English language.

“I’m really happy to have passed and really proud of myself. I’ve enjoyed my time here at Pudsey so far – I’ve met new friends and the staff are so lovely. I’m really excited to start studying my A levels.”

Anum is planning on studying biology, chemistry and physics with us and is one step closer to achieving a career in medicine.  

Serenity Lawrence, who was also part of our Step Up programme, was celebrating passing all her GCSEs after receiving a grade 6 in Science, two grade 5s in maths and citizenship, and a grade 4 in English. 

Serenity said: “I’m really pleased with my results today – the college has provided me with lots of support to achieve my goals, and I’m excited for the next step.”

Subhaan Khan, 18, was also celebrating his results and even surprised himself with a grade 6 in English language, a grade 6 in citizenship, a grade 5-4 in science, and a grade 4 in maths.

He said: “I am extremely happy with my results, if not a little shocked, and it’s all thanks to the staff and teachers who made my experience at Pudsey feel so welcoming and supportive. I’ve really enjoyed my time at Pudsey, everyone was so helpful and supported me along the way.”

After receiving his grades, Subhaan now plans to progress into further education by studying his A levels with us.

Raye Houghton, 17, secured two grade 6s, two grade 5s and a grade 4 in combined science, maths, English and citizenship studies and is now looking forward to progressing with his studies.

“It’s been great at Pudsey Sixth Form College so far and now I’m really looking forward to studying subjects that I’m really interested in.”

Raye is progressing on to study A levels with us, including chemistry and photography.

Judith Fish, Head of Pudsey Sixth Form College, said: “We’re very proud of all our students and the progress they have made. Their results are a testament to the hard work and commitment that they’ve shown during their time with us. It’s fantastic to see so many of our students progressing onto A levels with us and taking the next step in their futures.”
