LBTS students recently celebrated their A, AS, GCSE and BTEC
results. Most Year 11s will be staying at LBTS and have enrolled in
LBTS6 whilst others will be starting a wide range of exciting courses in
local colleges including engineering, health and social care and
performing arts.
Year 12s will be with LBTS for another year as they enter Year 13 to
finish their A levels and BTECs ,whilst the Year 13s have now finally left
after a large number of farewell parties, a Prom and now their results.
Students will be going off to study a huge range of courses in
universities across the UK from maths to business and from English to
Computing, whilst others are taking a gap year or starting an
apprenticeship. LBTS wishes them all the best and reminded them that
'the harder you work, the luckier you get!'
Our sponsor governor, Liveryman Richard Pone said, “Despite
headwinds such as school funding formulas, and the transition to new
grading and GCSEs, our relationship with LBTS goes from strength to
strength. Inspiring dinners with the 6th formers, the growing use of new
laptops, and various on and off premise STEM related events are just
some of the impactful ways we engaged over the past year.”
This summer Richard was also recognised with a special award from
the Mayor of Lambeth for services to school governance. We continue
to work with LBTS leadership to ensure we deliver the greatest value,
aligned to their aim of transforming the life chances of all their students.
